| Summary: | "Where does philosophy, the oldest academic subject, stand at the beginning of the new millennium? This volume brings together leading figures from most major branches of the discipline to offer answers." "Distinguished philosophers from Australia, Britain, Canada, and the United States aim not only to stimulate philosophical debate, but to introduce those in cognate disciplines - biology, classics, economics, history, law, linguistics, literary studies, mathematics, physics, political science, and psychology, among others - to what is happening in contemporary philosophy. In a substantial introduction, the editor gives an overview of the state of philosophy today and helps orient non-philosophers."--BOOK JACKET. |
