Book Description:
|
What can, and what can't, philosophy do? What are its ethical risks - and its possible rewards? How does it differ from science? This book addresses these questions and presents a vision of philosophy as fundamentally different from science in its aims and methods even though there is still in philosophy something that counts as getting it right.
