Opis

This book investigates the role of examples in shaping arguments and thought, both in philosophy and in everyday life. It addresses how our moral thinking is informed by our conceptual practices, especially in ways related to ethics and literature, post-Wittgensteinian ethics, or meta-philosophical concerns about philosophical writing.

Recenzje
