Knowledge, Being and the Human : Some of the Major Issues in Philosophy Hardback
by Jan Hartman
Part of the Studies in Philosophy, History of Ideas and Modern Societies series
Hardback
Description
This book, in the form of a classical philosophical treatise, presents a large-scale theoretical project: It uses a metaphilosophical perspective to present the framework for postmetaphysical thinking, situating it in the domain of the metaphysics of morality.
It offers an innovative defence of scepticism based on a critical and radical analysis of the concepts of knowledge and truth.
Metaphysical and transcendental traditions are deconstructed, mainly in relation to the paradoxes of so-called realism and idealism, which are the consequence of dependence on an archaic substance theory.
Moreover, the book proposes a certain form of philosophising in spite of everything, i.e. within a sceptical approach. The critique of ethics leads to an a-ethical concept of the will and the values of life.
