Kuhn --$tIndex 330 $aIn this lively look at current debates in American philosophy, leading philosophers talk candidly about the changing character of their discipline. In the spirit of Emerson's The American Scholar, this book explores the identity of the American philosopher. Through informal conversations, the participants discuss the rise of post-analytic philosophy in America and its relations to European thought and to the American pragmatist tradition. They comment on their own intellectual development as well as each others' work, charting the course of American philosophy over the past few decades. Giovanna Borradori, in her substantial introduction, explains the history of the analytic movement in America and the home-grown reaction against it. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American philosophy was a socially engaged interdisciplinary enterprise. In transcendentalism and pragmatism, then the dominant currents in American thought, philosophy was connected to history, psychology, and public issues. But in the 1930's, the imported European movement of logical positivism redefined philosophical discourse in terms of mathematical logic and theory of language. Under the influence of this analytic view, American philosophy became a professionalized discipline, divorced from public debate and intellectual history and antagonistic to the other, more humanistic tradition of continental thought. The American Philosopher explores the opposition between analytic and continental thought and shows how recent American work has begun to bridge the gap between the two traditions. Through a reexamination of pragmatism, and through an attempt to understand philosophy in a more hermeneutical way, the participants narrow the distance between America's distinctly scientific philosophy and Europe's more literary approach. Moving beyond classical analytic philosophy, the participants confront each other on a number of topics. The logico-linguistic orientations of Quine and Davidson come up against the more discursive, interdisciplinary agendas of Rorty, Putnam, and Cavell. Nozick's theory of pluralist anarchism goes face-to-face with the aesthetic neo-foundationalism of Danto. And Kuhn's hypothesis of paradigm shifts is measured against MacIntyre's ethics of "virtues." Borradori's conversations offer an unconventional portrait of the way philosophers think about their work; scholars and students will not be its only beneficiaries, so will everyone who wonders about the current state of American philosophy. 606 $aPhilosophy, American$xInterviews$y20th century$zUnited States 606 $aPhilosophers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy, American$xInterviews 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a191 700 $aBorradori$b Giovanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0263353 701 $aCrocitto$b Rosanna$0985921 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457982903321 996 $aThe American Philosopher$92253485 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01447nas 2200493-a 450 001 9910134597203321 005 20240111213018.0 011 $a1942-8324 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2245597-8 035 $a(OCoLC)51786837 035 $a(CKB)110987004566909 035 $a(CONSER)--2008228573 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110987004566909 100 $a20030304b19662019 --- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aValparaiso University law review 210 $a[Valparaiso, Ind.] $c[Valparaiso University School of Law] 311 $a0042-2363 517 1 $aVal.
