Papers by George Lucas
Toward the end of the 20th century, these questions were often raised, anxiously discussed, but seldom resolved. This new approach constitutes a reconsideration and critique of that earlier fin de siècle philosophical anxiety. In this book, the author sweeps aside the constraints of traditional methodological and cultural boundaries in order to reflect broadly on a variety of answers to these questions, as posed by many of the major philosophical figures of the past century. Inviting a re-consideration of the work of scholars as diverse as Alasdair MacIntyre, Leo Strauss, Jacque Derrida, Michel Foucault, Richard Rorty, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Bertrand Russell, Arthur Danto, Martha Nussbaum, Paul Ricoeur, Charles Taylor, Keith Lehrer and Jerome Schneewind, the author ranges widely over the history of philosophy itself in search of original, probing answers to these profound and perennial issues. The author outlines a new historico-philosophical methodology termed “reflective historical engagement,” and proceeds to employ this methodology in forging dramatic and moving reinterpretations of the recent history of philosophy. Lucas offers profound and original analyses of the works of Hegel, Whitehead, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, Heidegger and other foundational figures, alongside the many “forgotten” or marginalized historical figures who nonetheless have helped shape contemporary philosophy.
