Analytic and continental philosophy

Meer over het boek

This book explores a range of philosophical themes, beginning with an examination of Wittgenstein's contributions, including his views on certainty, free will, and his final writings. It delves into metaphilosophy and methodology, addressing the relationship between analytic and continental philosophy and proposing a new foundationalist approach that bridges this divide. The text discusses phenomenological perspectives on intuition, imagination, and cognition, emphasizing the interplay between intuitive and discursive reasoning. Further, it examines the philosophy of mind, raising concerns about introspection and exploring metaphysical and phenomenological aspects of habituality and embodied knowledge. The concept of panpsychism is addressed, alongside inquiries into social philosophy, collective intentionality, and the emotional experiences of group persons. The book also reflects on Aristotle's views on joint activity and common sense, the nature of pretence, and the complexities of self and other experiences. It tackles ethics and value theory, distinguishing between objective and subjective standards in criminal law, and questions the existence of a Kantian intuitionism in ethics. The exploration of sensibility and values leads to a phenomenological understanding of emotional life, culminating in discussions about ethical self-evaluation. An index of names and subjects provides additional context for readers.
