It offers a comprehensive overview of Montefiore's influential, non-dogmatic philosophical voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his 70-year career, Montefiore sought to bridge the analytic\/continental divide and develop a new way of thinking about philosophy. He defines philosophy as the search for a higher-order understanding of whatever the situation or activity in which one may be involved or engaged, an understanding which may be achieved and expressed by and in a variety of different forms of philosophical persuasion, and which may serve to shed new light on particular problems. The book's essays, half of which are previously unpublished, are divided into two thematic sections. The first focuses on the nature of philosophy, while the second addresses the relationship between philosophy and moral and political responsibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilosophy and the Human Paradox \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to philosophers and students who work on ethics, Kantian and post-Kantian continental philosophy, and political philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Montefiore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367423111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367423117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Alan Montefiore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136005386495,"sku":"9780367423117","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08b56d1a-e30c-4b52-82b9-d5eb80e2a407.jpg?v=1770159879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-and-the-human-paradox-alan-montefiore-9780367423117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
