Philosophy’s Future: The Problem of Philosophical Progress diagnoses the state of philosophy as an academic discipline and calls it to account, inviting further reflection and dialogue on its cultural value and capacity for future evolution.
- Offers the most up-to-date treatment of the intellectual and cultural value of contemporary philosophy from a wide range of perspectives
- Features contributions from distinguished philosophers such as Frank Jackson, Karen Green, Timothy Williamson, Jessica Wilson, and many others
- Explores the ways philosophical investigations of logic, world, mind, and moral responsibility continue to shape the empirical and theoretical sciences
- Considers the role of contemporary philosophy in political issues such as women’s rights, the discrimination of minorities, and public health <
"Cogent and worth reading – particularly the essays by Massimo Pigliucci and Jessica Wilson. Also notable is the fine essay by Myisha Cherry, who argues forcefully that philosophers need to "leave the shade" and express their views clearly in accessible public debate. Hear, hear!"
