Norris presents a series of closely linked chapters on recent
developments in epistemology, philosophy of language, cognitive
science, literary theory, musicology and other related fields.
While to this extent adopting an interdisciplinary approach, Norris
also very forcefully challenges the view that the academic
"disciplines" as we know them are so many artificial constructs of
recent date and with no further role than to prop up existing
divisions of intellectual labour. He makes his case through some
exceptionally acute revisionist readings of diverse thinkers such
as Derrida, Paul de Man, Wittgenstein, Chomsky, Michael Dummett and
John McDowell. In each instance Norris stresses the value of
bringing various trans-disciplinary perspectives to bear while
none-the-less maintaining adequate standards of area-specific
relevance and method. Most importantly he asserts the central role
of recent developments in cognitive science as pointing a way
beyond certain otherwise intractable problems in philosophy of mind
and language.
