This publication is a continuation of two earlier series of chroni
cles, Philosophy of the Mid-Century (Firenze 1958/59) and Con
temporary Philosophy (Firenze 1968), edited by Raymond Klibansky.
Like the other series, these chronicles provide a survey of
significant trends in contemporary philosophical discussion from
1970 to 1985. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased
rather than decreased over the last years. The philosophical scene
appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before. The
continuing process of specialization in most branches, the
emergence of new schools of thought, the convergence of interest
(thought not neces sarily of opinion) of different traditions upon
certain problems, the increasing attention being paid to the
history of philosophy in discussions of contemporary problems, and
the growing signifi cance for philosophical discourse of the
social, political and cul tural situation in various regions of the
world are the most impor tant contributory factors. Surveys of the
present kind are a valu able source of knowledge of this complexity
and may as such be an assistance in renewing the understanding of
one's own philo sophical problems. The surveys, it is to be hoped,
may also help to strengthen a world-wide Socratic element of modern
philosophy, the dialogue or Kommunikationsgemeinschaft. So far,
five volumes have been prepared for the new series."
