The Philosophy of Philosophy presents an innovative and comprehensive concept of philosophy as a non-natural science. In this thought-provoking work, renowned philosopher Timothy Williamson challenges prevailing assumptions and clarifies long-standing misconceptions about the methodology and essence of philosophical inquiry. The author rejects the conventional narratives of contemporary philosophy derived from naturalism, the linguistic turn, postmodern irony, and other prominent trends of the twentieth century. Instead, Williamson views the method of philosophy as evolving from non-philosophical pursuits, offering readers a fresh perspective on the "self-image" of philosophy and presenting new avenues for understanding what philosophy is and how it operates.
Now in its second edition, this landmark volume encompasses the original book and the author's subsequent work. The second edition introduces new topics such as the recent history of analytic philosophy, assessments of experimental philosophy, theories of concepts and understanding, Wittgensteinian approaches, popular philosophy, naturalism, morally-loaded examples in philosophy, philosophical applications of scientific methods, and many more. This edition features the author's latest thoughts on various issues, autobiographical reflections, and responses to critics.
The Philosophy of Philosophy, Second Edition remains an essential reading for philosophers, scholars, graduate and advanced undergraduate students in philosophy, and other readers with a sustained interest in the method and rationale of the doing of philosophy.
