Reshaping Reason : Toward a New Philosophy, Paperback / softback Book

Reshaping Reason : Toward a New Philosophy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In Reshaping Reason, John McCumber advocates new life for American philosophy.

At present, McCumber believes, American philosophy is ready to go in new directions, but American philosophers remain hopelessly divided between analytic or Continental approaches.

There seems to be no middle ground, and the debate between the two traditions has created indifference to the field, both in wider intellectual culture and among philosophers themselves.

Here, McCumber brings together aspects of analytic and Continental philosophy to give, for the first time, a fully temporalized account of reason.

He proposes an expanded set of rational tools for reason and with these tools takes a fresh look at key issues in ontology, ethics, and social philosophy.

This is a gutsy and ambitious book that not only shows philosophy’s achievements and failures in cold light, but suggests how philosophy might become more rigorous and relevant to society at large.
