Excellent- More about False Moves in Philosophy and Social Theory: Losing Public Purpose
The book explores false moves in modern philosophy, mainstream Anglo-American philosophy, and social theory, highlighting the need for phenomenology to complement analysis. It argues that false moves arise when factoring philosophy fails to distinguish between distinguishable and separable entities, leading to phenomenological mistakes. Analytic philosophy is prone to false moves when it fails to recognize the importance of phenomenology. The book contends that false moves prevail when philosophical analysis and social theory neglect their phenomenological foundations.

This book explores a wide range of philosophical topics, highlighting common false moves in modern philosophy, mainstream Anglo-American philosophy, and social theory. The authors identify the sources of fundamental problems that recur in these fields, which they term "factoring philosophy." Factoring philosophy fails to address the phenomenological task of determining when what is distinguishable is separable and when it is not. As a result, it makes false moves when it treats as separable what is only distinguishable. Analytic philosophy is particularly prone to false moves when it fails to recognize that phenomenology is the necessary complement to analysis. While analysis is valuable, it is incomplete without phenomenology, which provides a deeper understanding of the phenomena under study. Hegel's observation that "philosophizing requires, above all, that each thought should be grasped in its full precision and that nothing should remain vague and indeterminate" underscores the importance of precision and clarity in philosophical inquiry. Ultimately, this book argues that false moves prevail in philosophical analysis and social theory when they neglect their phenomenological foundations. By addressing these false moves, the authors aim to contribute to a more rigorous and insightful approach to these fields.
