Description
The Question of Dialectics
Book Summary
This collective work, edited by Miguel Giusti, offers a rigorous and contemporary exploration of dialectics as a fundamental philosophical problem. Through ten essays, the book examines the interpretations of the most representative philosophers in the history of this tradition, establishing systematic and historical connections between its various versions. The reader will find a critical analysis that, using current resources of philosophical research, addresses the crisis of reason and the uncertainty regarding the sources of thought, proposing new ways to understand dialectics in the present.
What is it about?
The work brings together ten essays that delve into the question of dialectics, understood as a problematic core of philosophy. Each chapter addresses the interpretation offered by key philosophers in the history of this current, from its origins to its most recent developments.
