What exactly is this the history of and how is that history to be
understood in relationship to philosophy itself? Can philosophy's
history, on any of a number of diverse descriptions, ever be said
in its own right to constitute a unique and genuine source of
philosophical wisdom or insight? George Lucas sweeps aside the
constraints of traditional methodological and cultural boundaries
to reflect broadly on a variety of answers to these questions, as
posed by many of the major philosophical figures of the past
century. Inviting a re-consideration of the work of scholars as
diverse as Alasdair MacIntyre, Leo Strauss, Jacques Derrida, Michel
Foucault, Richard Rorty, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Bertrand Russell,
Arthur Danto, Martha Nussbaum, Paul Ricoeur, Charles Taylor, Keith
Lehrer and Jerome Schneewind, Lucas ranges widely over the history
of philosophy itself in search of original, probing answers to
these profound and perennial issues.
