AFTER PHILOSOPHY: END OR TRANSFORMATION

C1987, 1993 GOOD PAPERBACK, INK NAME INSIDE FRONT COVER MIT PRESS [BAYNES, KENNETH (EDT) ET AL] HEAVY PENCIL UNDERLINING & NOTES IN FIRST 25 PAGES

From Publisher:

After Philosophy provides an excellent framework for understanding the most important strains of current philosophical work in North America, England, France, and Germany. The selections from the work of fourteen contemporary philosophers not only display the multiplicity of approaches being pursued since the breakup of any consensus on what philosophy is, but also help to clarify this proliferation of views and to spell out today's basic options for doing, or not doing, philosophy today. With a general introduction delineating what is in dispute between the different parties to the end-of-philosophy debates, brief introductions to the thought of each author, and suggestions for further reading following each selection, After Philosophy is ideally suited for use in any course that includes an overview of the bewildering variety of contemporary approaches to philosophy.
