The author's focus ranges from the most basic and fundamental issues of what examples are and where they come from to the complex key issues of how examples function in the discourses they inhabit and what this functioning tells us about the nature of examples or exemplarity itself. The problem is treated especially in connection to Rousseau and Aristotle, with reference to deconstruction (especially Derrida) and the range of Western metaphysics. Ultimately, a new theory of examples is offered, one not drawn from the assumptions made by earlier philosophers but rather from the usage and functioning of examples in philosophical discourse. 606 $aExample 606 $aParadigm (Theory of knowledge) 615 0$aExample. 615 0$aParadigm (Theory of knowledge) 676 $a110 700 $aHarvey$b Irene E.$f1953-$01115781 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966464203321 996 $aLabyrinths of exemplarity$94365712 997 $aUNINA
