The Possibility of Discussion (eBook, ePUB)

Relativism, Truth and Criticism of Religious Beliefs

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"How is fruitful discussion possible?" This book addresses the central philosophical issue of how reason shall be understood and how it is limited. Inspired by Wittgensteinian ideas, Strandberg develops a new way of understanding discussion, truth and rationality and shows how the solution can be used to answer the accusation against Wittgensteinian philosophy for being overly conservative.
