Assembling an unprecedented range of considered responses to the
noted contributions to philosophy made by Marcelo Dascal, this
collection comprises the work of his many friends, colleagues and
former students. Beginning with a series of articles on Dascal's
influential insights on philosophical controversy, this volume
continues with explorations of Dascal's celebrated scholarship on
Liebnitz, before moving on to papers dealing with his philosophy of
language, including interpretations by Dresner and Herring on the
phenomenon of emoticons. Taken as a whole, they provide a
compelling commentary on Dascal's prolific and voluminous
publications and include fresh perspectives on the theory of
argumentation and the ethics of communication.
The material collected here extends to political philosophy,
such as Morris-Reich's paper exploring the ways in which German
social scientists confront issues of antisemitism, the psychology
of genius, and the origins of norms in society and culture. Much of
the analysis is directly connected to, or influenced by, the
philosophical themes, ideas and concepts developed throughout the
years by Marcelo Dascal, while others have a looser connection to
his work. All of them, however, attest to the remarkable and
multifaceted philosophical persona of Marcelo Dascal, who is the
guiding light of the rich conceptual dialogue running through this
book. "
