It reveals a coherence between the disparate problems of philosophy which is not apparent when philosophy is approached in a systematic and timeless manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On the basis of this historical approach, the book argues that philosophy was initially concerned primarily with the nature of reality but changed its focus when science was established as a separate discipline in the 17th century. Philosophy's main concern is now the meaning question with a focus on questions of value as discussed in moral and political philosophy and in aesthetics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is essential reading for all scholars and researchers in philosophy and especially those interested in the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Steinvorth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031725326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2024 Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43211667865737,"sku":"9783031725326","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f4bc105e-fdcc-4728-84de-1e39ea12faa7.jpg?v=1734428182","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-brief-presentation-of-philosophy-and-its-history-two-basic-questions-9783031725326","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
