The death of philosophy
Philosophers debate the death of philosophy as much as they debate the death of God. Kant claimed responsibility for both philosophy's beginning and end, while Heidegger argued it concluded with Nietzsche. In the twentieth century, figures as diverse as John Austin and Richard Rorty have proclaimed philosophy's end, with some even calling for the advent of \"postphilosophy.\" In an effort to make sense of these conflicting positions-which often say as much about the philosopher as his subject-Isabelle Thomas-Fogiel undertakes the first systematic treatment of \"the end of philosophy,\" while also recasting the history of western thought itself.
Thomas-Fogiel begins with postphilosophical claims such as scientism, which she reveals to be self-refuting, for they subsume philosophy into the branches of the natural sciences. She discovers similar issues in Rorty's skepticism and strands of continental thought. Revisiting the work of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century philosophers, when the split between analytical and continental philosophy began, Thomas-Fogiel finds both traditions followed the same path-the road of reference-which ultimately led to self-contradiction. This phenomenon, whether valorized or condemned, has been understood as the death of philosophy. Tracing this pattern from Quine to Rorty, from Heidegger to Levinas and Habermas, Thomas-Fogiel reveals the self-contradiction at the core of their claims while also carving an alternative path through self-reference. Trained under the French philosopher Bernard Bourgeois, she remakes philosophy in exciting new ways for the twenty-first century.

Making Sense in Common
A leading philosopher seeks to recover \"common sense\" as
a meeting place to reconcile science and philosophy With
her previous books on Alfred North Whitehead, Isabelle Stengers not
only secured a reputation as one of the premier philosophers of our
times but also inspired a rethinking of critical theory, political
thought, and radical philosophy across a range of disciplines.
Here, Stengers unveils what might well be seen as her definitive
reading of Whitehead.
Making Sense in Common will be greeted eagerly by the
growing group of scholars who use Stengers's work on Whitehead as a
model for how to think with conceptual precision through diverse
domains of inquiry: environmentalism and ecology, animal studies,
media and technology studies, the history and philosophy of
science, feminism, and capitalism. On the other hand, the
significance of this new book extends beyond Whitehead. Instead, it
lies in Stengers's recovery of the idea of \"common sense\" as a
meeting place-a commons-where opposed ideas of science and
humanistic inquiry can engage one another and help to move society
forward. Her reconciliation of science and philosophy is especially
urgent today-when climate disaster looms all around us, when the
values of what we thought of as civilization and modernity are
discredited, and when expertise of any kind is under attack.
