Reflexivity And The Crisis of Western Reason - Logological Investigations: Volume One (Hardcover)

This first volume in the series "Logological Investigations", explores the genealogical analysis of the discourses of reflection. The author traces the differences between the traditional discourses of reflection and the experiences of reflexivity in everday, social and philosophical thought. The central contention of Sandywell's argument is that in order to begin to address these types of questions we must first explore the force field between the discourses of reflection and reflexivity. To do so requires radical self-investigations of the role of reflexivity in human experience, and more especially of the role of the languages, practises and institutions of self-reflection with the fabric of Western culture. Consequently, these "logological investigations" introduce a method of analysis which traces the epochal movement of thought from a videological to a dialogical conception of the world.
