Auteur: Queloz, Matthieu (Junior Research Fellow, Wolfson College and Member of the Faculty of Philosophy, Junior Research Fellow, Wolfson College and Member of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Why did such highly abstract ideas as truth, knowledge, or justice become so important to us? What was the point of coming to think in these terms? Matthieu Queloz presents a method for answering such questions: pragmatic genealogy. We can make sense of these grand abstractions by identifying their roots in concrete practical concerns.
