Reihe: What is this thing called?

What is this thing called Philosophical Methodology? is the ideal introduction for students challenged with the idea of ‘doing’ philosophy for the first time. This textbook explores this socially-engaged and collaborative discipline in an accessible and comprehensive way by carefully weighing up the costs and benefits of philosophical theories, embracing new tools for philosophical progress, and scrutinizing the practice of philosophical methodology to help improve philosophy for generations to come. James Andow encourages newcomers to think carefully about the nature and value of the various philosophical methods introduced and provides a way into contemporary metaphilosophical debates about philosophical methods. Chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary make this an indispensable introduction for students grappling with this topic for the first time.
