In this text, philosopher Stanley Rosen takes a new look at the "quarrel" that moderns have with the ancients, analyzing and comparing ancient philosophers and modern Continental and analytical thinkers from Plato, Descartes and Kant to Fichte, Nietzche and Rorty.
The concept of the ordinary, along with such cognates as everyday life, ordinary language, and ordinary experience, has come into special prominence in late modern philosophy. Thinkers have employed two opposing yet related responses to the notion of the ordinary - scientific and phenomenological approaches on the one hand, and on the other, more informal or even anti-scientific procedures. Eminent philosopher Stanley Rosen here presents the first comprehensive study of the main approaches to theoretical mastery of ordinary experience. He evaluates the responses of a wide range of modern and contemporary thinkers and grapples with the peculiar problem of the ordinary - how to define it in its own terms without transforming it into a technical (and so, extraordinary) artifact.
Soon to become the definitive study of Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra.
In this insightful analysis, Stanley Rosen highlights the significance of Hegel's Science of Logic, arguing that its neglect has contributed to the fragmentation of contemporary philosophy. He explores the tension between monism and dualism, suggesting that monism leads to nihilism while dualism results in confusion within philosophical discourse. By thoroughly examining Hegel's work, Rosen aims to propose a new rationalist framework that reconciles these opposing views, ultimately offering fresh perspectives on logic and reason. His examination culminates in a profound discussion on Hegel's concept of the Idea.
