| description |
This book asks what it means to do philosophy historically. It explains what
we are doing when we try to do philosophy by engagingwithits past. The book describes how this enterprise differs from doing philosophy in a non-historical way, on the one hand, and from traditional scholarship in the history of philosophy on the other. I want to show that doing philosophy historically differs from these enterprises in a number of ways. It has a distinctive object: it studies a different sort of thing than they do. It also employs a distinctive
method and has a different set of goals. The aim of this book, then, is to understand the nature of the activity that we call doing philosophy historically,and to describe this activity’s distinguishing features. But the book will not just study this activity in the abstract. It will also look closely at some examples of this activity. It will conduct a series of case studies of figures who do philosophy historically: Alasdair MacIntyre, Martin Heidegger, and Paul Ricoeur. Each, I argue, embodies a different strategy for doing philosophy historically. Each has a distinctive approach to the business of learning philosophical lessons by
engaging with the thinkers of the past. As a result, each has something important to teach us about this enterprise: how it works in practice, what challenges it faces, and what is involved in doing it well. I hope that, by drawing attention to the importance of this enterprise for MacIntyre, Heidegger, and Ricoeur, I will shed new light on an important but neglected side of their work,
and thus help to see these figures in a new way. |
