Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This is a highly original book that makes a distinctive and significant contribution to a number of different philosophical debates, including the nature of reason, the philosophy of history, the modernity/postmodernity debate, and the relationship between metaphysics and oppression. Along the way, McCumber stakes out interesting and well-defended interpretive positions vis-a-vis Hegel and Heidegger. This is an outstanding work and deserves to be widely read and discussed." -- Amy Allen "John McCumber's On Philosophy is an engaging, provocative, well-argued analysis of philosophy's current situation. Grounded in a strong reading of philosophy's history from Aristotle to the present, it is richly suggestive and provocative." -- Gary Shapiro * University of Richmond * "This book will be useful for any educated reader interested in learning about the state of philosophy today. Graduate students wondering whether they have made the right choices in life might find it particularly helpful, since the book contains a number of reflections on professional philosophy in the academy. Recommended." -- B. T. Harding "Prolific philosopher John McCumber gives us a new treat and a new angle for reconsidering the history of philosophy in this book." -- Wendy Hamblet * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *

Reseña del editor:

This book re-examines important figures from the entire history of philosophy to show how and why philosophy must renew itself as a critical practice dedicated to dialogue with women, people of color, LGBTs, and others who seek liberation from age-old oppressions.
