STRAWSON PETER-FREDERICK

ΣΚΕΠΤΙΚΙΣΜΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΦΥΣΙΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ
Το παρόν βιβλίο, που βασίζεται στη σειρά διαλέξεων Woodbridge του 1983, αποτελεί μια εξαιρετική σύνοψη των πιο πρόσφατων τοποθετήσεων του Βρετανού φιλοσόφου στον χώρο της γνωσιολογίας, της οντολογίας, της φιλοσοφίας, της γλώσσας αλλά και της ηθικής. Η σημαντικότερη όμως συμβολή του στις σύγχρονες συζητήσεις ίσως συνίσταται στη διαμόρφωση μιας νέας αντίληψης του φιλοσοφείν. Ο Στρώσον φαίνεται να εγκαταλείπει τις μάλλον θεμελιοκρατικές τάσεις της καντιανής εμπνεύσεως περιγραφικής μεταφυσικής που είχε αναπτύξει στα έργα του της δεκαετίας του ...

(P/B) THE BOUNDS OF SENSE
The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant's philosophy, and is one of the key philosophical works of the late Twentieth century. Although it is probably best known for its criticism of Kant's transcendental idealism, it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant's fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity, experience and knowledge.
