This book engages the confrontation between the foundationalist
aims of traditional philosophy, the postmodern critique, and the
pragmatic attempt to maintain a form of non-foundational inquiry.
Through readings of the work of Peirde, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein,
Buchler, Derrida, Rorty, and others, the author examines the nature
and scope of philosophically relevant knowledge.
- Ambitious and important work, by a respected philosopher.
- Presents a clear and thoughtful analysis of key philosophical
traditions.
- Examines the nature and scope of philosophically relevant knowledge.
