The Cambridge Companion to Philosophical Methodology cover

The Cambridge Companion to Philosophical Methodology provides clear and comprehensive coverage of the main methodological debates and approaches within philosophy.

The volume provides clear and comprehensive coverage of the main methodological debates and approaches within philosophy. The book gives equal weight to analytical and continental approaches, and pays attention to approaches that are often overlooked.The Cambridge Companion to Philosophical Methodology offers clear and comprehensive coverage of the main methodological debates and approaches within philosophy. The chapters in this volume approach the question of how to do philosophy from a wide range of perspectives, including conceptual analysis, critical theory, deconstruction, experimental philosophy, hermeneutics, Kantianism, methodological naturalism, phenomenology, and pragmatism. They explore general conceptions of philosophy, centred on the question of what the point of philosophising might be; the method of conceptual analysis and its recent naturalistic critics and competitors; perspectives from continental philosophy; and also a variety of methodological views that belong neither to the mainstream of analytic philosophy, nor to continental philosophy as commonly conceived. Together they will enable readers to grasp an unusually wide range of approaches to methodological debates in philosophy.

'What sets this Companion apart from other recent work on philosophical methodology is its perspective. The essays in this timely volume focus on three metaphilosophical domains - conceptual analysis in analytic philosophy, Continental methodologies, and methodologies lying at the analytic/Continental divide. … This excellent resource will be valuable to those interested in either metaphilosophy overall or one particular methodology. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.' J. McBain, CHOICE
