Description

Explore the historical connection between philosophy and common sense with Return to Philosophy by Routledge. This work examines how the philosophical enterprise has traditionally rooted its intellectual procedures in ordinary discourse. From the dawn of speculation with pre-Socratic thinkers to the medieval mystics, the text traces a lineage of thought that relies on accessible language. As contemporary thought has been influenced by the physical sciences, mathematics, and depth psychology, philosophical expression has moved away from everyday speech. This book investigates that shift, looking at figures like Pascal in the seventeenth century and Gaston Bachelard in the twentieth century to understand how philosophical language became distant from ordinary language. It is a significant read for those interested in the history and schools of Western thought, offering a perspective on how the discipline has evolved from its earliest beginnings to the modern era.
