Description

Robert Fogelin here collects fifteen of his essays, organized around the theme of interpreting philosophical texts.

The essays place particular emphasis on understanding the argumentative or dialectical role that passages play in the specific context in which they occur.

The somewhat surprising result of taking this principle seriously is that certain traditional, well-worked texts are given a radical re-interpretation.

Throughout the essays reprinted here, Fogelin argues that, when carefully read, the philosophical position under consideration has more merit than commonly believed.

Included are essays dealing with texts from the works of Plato, Aquinas, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Price, Hamilton, and Wittgenstein.
