Philosophy as Higher Enlightenment

Paradigms toward a New Worldview from the Perspective of Dialectical Realism.

This work is a study in integrative thinking: it contributes some paradigms toward a new worldview from the perspective of dialectical realism. Its central idea is that philosophical thinking leads to a «higher enlightenment»: illuminating the foundations of our beliefs as well as the horizon of our praxis. Hence the disparate interests of philosophical inquiry - its theoretical interest and its existential interest - find a dialectical integration here. The role of philosophy as a cultural healer is then articulated as a consequence. XII,303 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies.
