Produktbeschreibung

The sixteen essays in this volume confront the current debate about the relationship between philosophy and its history. On the one hand intellectual historians have commonly accused philosophers of writing bad--anachronistic--history of philosophy, and on the other, philosophers have accused intellectual historians of writing bad--antiquarian--history of philosophy. The essays here address this controversy and ask what purpose the history of philosophy should serve.
