The appeal of philosophy has always been its willingness to speak
to those pressing questions that haunt us as we make our way
through life. What is truth? Could we think without language? Is
materialism everything? But in recent years, philosophy has been
largely absent from mainstream cultural commentary. Many have come
to believe that the field is excessively technical and
inward-looking and that it has little to offer outsiders. The 25
interviews collected in this volume, all taken from a series of
online interviews with leading philosophers published by the
cultural magazine 3ammagazine.com, were carried out with the aim of
confronting widespread ignorance about contemporary philosophy.
Interviewer Richard Marshall's informed and enthusiastic questions
help his subjects explain the meaning of their work in a way that
is accessible to non-specialists. Contemporary philosophical issues
are presented through engaging but serious dialogues that, taken
together, offer a glimpse into key debates across the discipline.
Alongside metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, logic,
philosophy of science, philosophy of language, political philosophy
and ethics, discussed here are feminist philosophy, continental
philosophy, pragmatism, philosophy of religion, experimental
philosophy, bioethics, animal rights, and legal philosophy.
Connections between philosophy and fields such as psychology,
cognitive science, and theology are likewise examined. Marshall
interviews philosophers both established and up-and coming.
Engaging, thoughtful and thought-provoking, inviting anyone with a
hunger for philosophical questions and answers to join in,
Philosophy at 3:AM shows that contemporary philosophy can be
relevant - and even fun.
