Transdisciplinarity Without Method: On Being Interdisciplinary in a Technoscientific World
How History Matters to Philosophy: Reconsidering Philosophy's Past after Positivism
In recent decades, widespread rejection of positivism’s notorious hostility toward the philosophical tradition has led to renewed debate about the real relationship of philosophy to its history.
