Contents : What is philosophy? / Barry Stroud -- Philosophy in search of itself / Karsten Harries -- Reason, expression, and the philosophic enterprise / Robert Brandom -- Philosophy : enlightenment apology, enlightenment critique / Allen Wood -- Public philosophy and international feminism / Martha C. Nussbaum -- What is philosophy : the philosophical point of view after the end of dogmatic metaphysics / Karl-Otto Apel. - In this stimulating book, six leading philosophers-Karl-Otto Apel, Robert Brandom, Karsten Harries, Martha Nussbaum, Barry Stroud, and Allen Wood-consider the nature of philosophy. Although each of them has a unique perspective, they all seem to agree that philosophy seeks to uncover hidden assumptions and concepts in order to expose them to critical scrutiny. It is thus entirely fitting that philosophers should examine their own assumptions about the nature of their discipline. As they delve into the nature of philosophy, the authors address many fascinating subjects: what makes philosophy different from natural science, religion, and other branches of the humanities; whether philosophy can contribute to political transformation, and if so, how; whether there can ever be an end of philosophy ; and more. The editors' introduction ties together the contributors' diverse perspectives by noting common themes, similarities, and differences.
