On Philosophy, Intelligibility, and the Ordinary

Going the Bloody Hard Way

Produktbeschreibung

This book calls scholars to avoid the temptation to reduce philosophy into a normative discipline. The author argues that philosophy's main responsibility does not reside in changing the world, but in safeguarding sense and intelligibility against unfounded forms of skepticism.
