Description

Return to Philosophy traces the philosophical tradition from its pre-Socratic origins through contemporary thought, examining how ordinary discourse shaped the intellectual procedures of thinkers like Pascal and Gaston Bachelard. This Routledge publication explores the shift in philosophical language and expression as the physical sciences, mathematics, and depth psychology gained influence in modern philosophical enquiry. The book argues for reconnecting philosophical enterprise with common sense and everyday language, offering readers a comprehensive historical perspective on how philosophy moved away from ordinary discourse and why returning to this foundation remains significant for contemporary philosophical practice and understanding.

Key Features

Traces philosophical thought from pre-Socratic beginnings through twentieth-century developments in depth psychology and mathematical influence.

Examines how medieval mystics, Pascal, and Gaston Bachelard grounded their work in common sense and ordinary language approaches.

Explores the historical shift in philosophical language and expression caused by the ascendency of physical sciences and mathematics.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in philosophy and social sciences.
