Postmodern Philosophy?
In: Critical review: an interdisciplinary journal of politics and society, Band 2, Heft 2-3, S. 166-182
ISSN: 0891-3811
An attempt to explore some of the principal ways in which postmodern philosophy differs from traditional, modern philosophy. In particular, it is shown how postmodern philosophy undermines, rejects, or deconstructs the central modern notions of "subjectivity" & "objective reality" -- as well as all the subsidiary notions connected with these. A particular effort is made to determine what consequences follow from this move. Does postmodernism necessarily entail relativism & nihilism, as some of its critics allege? An important contrast is drawn in this regard between hermeneutics & other forms of postmodern thought. AA

Classics of Philosophy, Ten neglected classics of philosophy
What makes for a philosophical classic? Why do some philosophical works persist over time, while others do not? The philosophical canon and diversity are topics of major debate today. This stimulating volume contains ten new essays by accomplished philosophers writing passionately about works in the history of philosophy that they feel were unjustly neglected or ignored-and why they deserve greater attention. The essays cover lesser known works by famous thinkers as well as works that were once famous but now only faintly remembered. Works examined include Gorgias' Encomium of Helen, Jane Adams' Women and Public Housekeeping, W.E.B. DuBois' Whither Now and Why, Edith Stein's On the Problem of Empathy, Jonathan Bennett's Rationality, and more. While each chapter is an expression of engagement with an individual work, the volume as a whole, and Eric Schliesser's introduction specifically, address timely questions about the nature of philosophy, disciplinary contours, and the vagaries of canon formation.

Western philosophy: an anthology
In: Blackwell philosophy anthologies
"An anthology can serve many different purposes. Anthologies of poetry usually leave readers to make their own way, sampling the flowers arranged for their delight. With philosophy things are rather different. Many of the arguments of the great philosophers rest on a daunting array of presuppositions and concealed premises, and careful guidance is needed if many readers are not to be overwhelmed. The texts included in this volume, and the linking passages of introduction and commentary, offer a guided tour through the main branches of the subject, introducing the ideas in sequence, and uncovering the main outlines of that complex interplay of arguments which forms the Western philosophical tradition. The central aim, as with all anthologies, is to put the reader in touch with the texts themselves. Those embarking on the subject can sometimes find it hard even to grasp just what philosophy is, and there is no better way of discovering than to read the writings of the great philosophers at first hand. This volume is designed to present some of the most important extracts from those writings in a way that will enable the individual to achieve a clear overview of how the subject developed, and how the most important theories fit into the overall picture. It is, I hope, a book which individuals will be able to keep by them, for pleasure and profit, as they set out on the quest for philosophical understanding"--
