This book was first published in 2009. In this book Robert Piercey
asks how it is possible to do philosophy by studying the thinkers
of the past. He develops his answer through readings of Martin
Heidegger, Richard Rorty, Paul Ricoeur, Alasdair MacIntyre and
other historically-minded philosophers. Piercey shows that what is
distinctive about these figures is a concern with philosophical
pictures - extremely general conceptions of what the world is like
- rather than specific theories. He offers a comprehensive and
illuminating exploration of the way in which these thinkers use
narrative to evaluate and criticise these pictures. The result is a
powerful and original account of how philosophers use the past.
