Description
Philosophical Methodology is a book addressed to the entire philosophical community. It develops a novel account of the structure and goals of inquiry, offers the first systematic discussion of philosophical data, and assesses extant philosophical methods. Introducing a new method for doing philosophy, it positions theorists to better understand their topics while also revealing how philosophy can continue to make progress in answering its foremost questions.
Reviews / Votes
Philosophical Methodology offers plenty of room for discussion, and I anticipate a fruitful discussion with constructive critical remarks, especially from philosophers of science. This is all well. Philosophical Methodology is an outstanding endeavour to grasp the foundations of philosophical inquiry and has the potential to provide an incentive for an intradisciplinary effort to better understand the 'How' of philosophy. * Kaj AndrA (c) Zeller, Metascience * Philosophical Methodology offers plenty of room for discussion, and I anticipate a fruitful discussion with constructive critical remarks, especially from philosophers of science.
