Philosophy After Foundation: Reconstructing Philosophy from First Conditions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789082457414)

Many philosophical disputes begin too high. They begin with truth, existence, identity, freedom, morality, language, and value before establishing what must already be in place for such terms to arise at all.

Philosophy After Foundation descends beneath those familiar starting points. It reconstructs philosophy from first conditions: contrast, awareness, intent, probability, choice, actuality, existence, identity, intelligence, freedom, conflict, and creativity.

This is not another position within familiar philosophical debate. It reorders the field from below its usual points of departure.

The book argues that concepts such as truth, selfhood, freedom, morality, society, aesthetics, and language cannot be treated as primitives.

They arise within a deeper architecture of admissibility, continuity, constraint, and relation.

Written for readers dissatisfied with inherited philosophical starting points, Philosophy After Foundation offers a severe and systematic reconstruction of philosophy's first conditions.
