The expanded new edition of one of the most influential and
controversial books about the nature of philosophy published in the
past several decades The Philosophy of Philosophy presents an
original, unified concept of philosophy as a non-natural science.
In this provocative work, distinguished philosopher Timothy
Williamson challenges widely-held assumptions and clarifies
long-standing misconceptions about the methodology and nature of
philosophical inquiry. The author rejects the standard narratives
of contemporary philosophy developed from naturalism, the
linguistic turn, postmodern irony, and other prominent trends of
the twentieth century. Viewing the method of philosophy as evolving
from non-philosophical pursuits, Williamson provides readers with
fresh insight into the "self-image" of philosophy and offers new
ways of understanding what philosophy is and how it actually works.
Now in its second edition, this landmark volume comprises the
original book and the author's subsequent work. New topics include
the recent history of analytic philosophy, assessments of
experimental philosophy, theories of concepts and understanding,
Wittgensteinian approaches, popular philosophy, naturalism,
morally-loaded examples in philosophy, philosophical applications
of scientific methods, and many more. This edition features the
author's latest thoughts on a variety of issues, autobiographical
reflections, and replies to critics. Proposes an alternative
narrative about the nature of philosophy Argues that the common
assumption of philosophical exceptionalism is false Highlights the
similarities between philosophy and the other sciences in both
methodology and subject matter Explores why contemporary philosophy
has failed to articulate an adequate methodology Emphasizes
increasing the methodological standards of reasoning in philosophy
The Philosophy of Philosophy, Second Edition remains essential
reading for philosophers, scholars, graduate and advanced
undergraduate students in philosophy, and other readers with a
sustained interest in the method and rationale of the doing of
philosophy.
