Description
Radicality at the heart of philosophy sustains progressive thinking and refashioning. Philosophy loses touch with what matters if it fails to engage with fundamental issues of living, working, thinking, and dying. This book presents five distinct ways philosophy can stay radically engaged: through reason, experience, action, analysis, or self-criticism. The result is a guide for philosophers, helping them identify the best ways to be radical and continue to be so. Maximilian de Gaynesford explores how each of these paths identifies something wrong with previous approaches, yet ends up in the same confusion it sought to escape. By examining this paradox, de Gaynesford sheds light on the Covid/post-Trump age, where the stimulus to philosophize remains strong. The book invites readers on a journey through modern philosophy's labyrinths and offers new insights into its relevance and connection to radicalism.
