{"product_id":"imitation-of-rigor-mark-wilson-9780192896469","title":"Imitation of Rigor: An Alternative History of Analytic Philosophy","description":"J.L. Austin has written of \"the blinding veil of ease and obviousness that hides the mechanisms of the natural successful act\". By revisiting a classic \"small metaphysics\" puzzle drawn from physics that launched a thousand ships of grander philosophizing, \u003cem\u003eImitation of Rigor\u003c\/em\u003e employs recent insights into the architectures of effective reasoning as a means of explicating how Austin's covert \"mechanisms\" operate in concrete terms. By these means, the book attempts to reconnect analytic philosophy with the evolving practicalities within science from which many of its grander concerns originally sprang. In doing so, it provides an \"alternative history\" of how the subject might have developed had the diagnostic insights of its philosopher\/scientist forebears (e.g. Heinrich Hertz and Ernst Mach) not been cast aside in the vain pursuit of inappropriate standards of \"ersatz rigor\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192896466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192896469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Mark Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054773498111,"sku":"9780192896469","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b0c1628-f094-4ddb-a270-0d1505f291e5.jpg?v=1685031910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imitation-of-rigor-mark-wilson-9780192896469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
