This is a sustained critique of present-day academic philosophy
combined with a practical agenda for change. Christopher Norris
raises some basic questions about the way that analytic philosophy
has been conducted over the past 25 years. In doing so, he offers
an alternative to what he sees as an over-specialisation of a lot
of recent academic work. Arguing that analytic philosophy has led
to a narrowing of sights to the point where other approaches that
might be more productive are blocked from view, he goes against the
grain to claim that Continental philosophy holds the resources for
a creative renewal of analytic thought. It draws on a wide range of
examples to shine light on one topic: philosophy's current
condition and how we can move beyond it. It addresses issues of
interest to students and teachers of philosophy in both the
analytic and the Continental traditions: speculative realism, the
'extended mind' hypothesis, experimental philosophy, the ontology
of political song, linguistic philosophy, anti-realism and
epistemological scepticism. It interrogates the analytical
zeitgeist through a vigorous critique of the prevailing modes of
thought.
