That Will Be Able to Come Forward as Science: With Selections from the Critique of Pure Reason

Modern French Philosophy
1981 || Paperback || Vincent Descombes || Cambridge University Press
This is a critical introduction to modern French philosophy, commissioned from one of the liveliest contemporary practitioners and intended for an English-speaking readership. The dominant 'Anglo-Saxon' reaction to philosophical development in France has for some decades been one of suspicion, occasionally tempered by curiosity but more often hardening into dismissive rejection. But there are signs now of a more sympathetic interest and an increasing readiness to admit and explore shared conc...

Achenwall’s work infl...

Lectures on Global Hermeneutics
2023 || Paperback || Andrea Sangiacomo || Kleine Uil, Uitgeverij
