The logical division between holistic and analytic categories thereby offers a principled basis for a metaphilosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Blachowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031144775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031144776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"James Blachowicz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420392476927,"sku":"9783031144776","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fecc115-8d3c-4f8b-8e70-49f2c27ef03b.jpg?v=1734634500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bilateral-mind-as-the-james-blachowicz-9783031144776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
