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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in its second edition, this landmark volume encompasses the original book and the author's subsequent work.

This edition features the author's latest thoughts on various issues, autobiographical reflections, and responses to critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781119616689\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44790080241914,"sku":"9781119616689","price":31.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_bc7c66c3-5850-4b61-8b2c-af6d8f2cb61d.jpg?v=1700487367","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-philosophy-second-edition-9781119616689","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
