{"product_id":"a-thing-of-this-world-lee-braver-9780810123809","title":"A Thing of This World: A History of Continental Anti-Realism","description":"At a time when the analytic\/continental split dominates contemporary philosophy, this ambitious work offers a careful and clear-minded way to bridge that divide. Combining conceptual rigor and clarity of prose with historical erudition, \u003ci\u003eA Thing of This World \u003c\/i\u003eshows how one of the standard issues of analytic philosophy--realism and anti-realism--has also been at the heart of continental philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing a framework derived from prominent analytic thinkers, Lee Braver traces the roots of anti-realism to Kant's idea that the mind actively organizes experience. He then shows in depth and in detail how this idea evolves through the works of Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida. This narrative presents an illuminating account of the\u003cbr\u003ehistory of continental philosophy by explaining how these thinkers build on each other's attempts to develop new concepts of reality and truth in the wake of the rejection of realism. Braver demonstrates that the analytic and continental traditions have been discussing the same issues, albeit with different vocabularies, interests, and approaches.\u003cbr\u003eBy developing a commensurate vocabulary, his book promotes a dialogue between the two branches of philosophy in which each can begin to learn from the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Braver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810123800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810123809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.20w x 1.28d","brand":"Lee Braver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947266244863,"sku":"9780810123809","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cb4d2c96-b19c-491f-b42f-4845364f2b3d.jpg?v=1681517699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-thing-of-this-world-lee-braver-9780810123809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
