Return to Philosophy

Meer over het boek

The book explores the historical connection between philosophy and common sense, tracing its roots from pre-Socratic thinkers to modern figures like Bachelard. It argues that the rise of physical sciences and complex psychological theories has led to a disconnect between philosophical language and everyday discourse, resulting in confusion among learners. Thomas Molnar critiques contemporary philosophical practices, suggesting that many modern philosophers engage in trivial language games rather than genuine inquiry. This work appeals to philosophers, cultural historians, and sociologists.
