The Philosophy of Philosophy

Meer over het boek

Timothy Williamson presents a compelling argument for viewing philosophy as a non-natural science, challenging traditional narratives shaped by naturalism and postmodernism. By clarifying misconceptions about philosophical methodology, he redefines the self-image of philosophy and its evolution from non-philosophical pursuits. The second edition expands on the original work with new discussions on analytic philosophy, experimental philosophy, and the application of scientific methods, alongside autobiographical insights and responses to critiques, making it essential for scholars and students alike.
