Elijah Millgram

Great Endarkenment

Philosophy for an Age of Hyperspecialization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Philosophers have not appreciated how pervasive and deep division of labor is, and consequently they have not noticed the many intellectual devices deployed in managing it. The Great Endarkenment makes the case that those devices are central pieces of puzzles that have traditionally been on philosophers' agendas.
