  | | On Philosophy(1st Edition) Notes from a Crisis by John Mccumber Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2013 by Stanford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8047-8143-5, ISBN: 0-8047-8143-5 "Deepening divisions separate today's philosophers, first, from the culture at large; then, from each other; and finally, from philosophy itself. Though these divisions tend to coalesce publicly as debates over the Enlightenment, their roots lie much deeper. Overcoming them thus requires a confrontation with the whole of Western philosophy. Only when we uncover the strange heritage of Aristotle's metaphysics, as reworked, for example, by ..." |

 | | Understanding Hegel's Mature Critique of Kant(1st Edition) by Professor John Mccumber Hardcover, 232 Pages, Published 2013 by Stanford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8047-8545-7, ISBN: 0-8047-8545-7 "Hegel's critique of Kant was a turning point in the history of philosophy: for the first time, the concrete, situated, and in certain senses "naturalistic" style pioneered by Hegel confronted the thin, universalistic, and argumentatively purified style of philosophy that had found its most rigorous expression in Kant. The controversy has hardly died away: it virtually haunts contemporary philosophy from epistemology to ethical theory. Y ..." |

Because of the emancipatory nature of their thought, Derrida, Foucault, Habermas, and Rorty challenge domination, but they do not see their challenge clearly and it does not rise to the level of conscious critique in their writings. Using Nietzsche's writings on "the great libera ..." |

At present, McCumber believes, American philosophy is ready to go in new directions, but American philosophers remain hopelessly divided between analytic or Continental approaches. There seems to be no middle ground, and the debate between the two traditions has created indifference to the field, both in wider intellectual culture and among philosophers the ..." |

Press, ISBN-13: 978-0-253-33473-2, ISBN: 0-253-33473-X "In this compelling work, John McCumber unfolds a history of Western metaphysics that is also a history of the legitimation of oppression.

Hegel, he argues, is concerned with building community and mutual comprehension rather than with completing metaphysics or developing historical critique. According to McCumber's radial interpretation, Hegel constructs a complex ideal of how we should use certain words. This ideal philosophical vocabulary is flexib ..." |

Why was silence maintained for so long? And what happens, McCumber asks, when political events and pressures go beyond interfering with individual ..." |
