Description

Explore the complex connection between philosophical tradition and historical study with this academic text from Routledge. As the widespread rejection of positivism's hostility toward the past continues, a renewed debate has emerged regarding how philosophy relates to its own history. This book offers a fresh perspective on this ongoing discussion. Scharff moves beyond the standard question of whether the past should matter. Instead, the author argues that the very existence of this debate proves that history is already an essential part of the field. This work provides a detailed review of recent literature and develops a rigorous case through a structured two-part analysis. Part One examines how history influences the discipline, providing a foundation for understanding contemporary debates. This volume is a significant addition to the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy series, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and academics interested in historiography and the evolution of philosophical thought.
