Abstract
T
his book collects together studies offering a new perspective on
various aspects of 20th century philosophy. Written over the past
dozen years or so, these essays involve developments in which I have been
personally involved as a participant. The organizing principle employed
here reflects the intensity of this involvement, increasingly moving as the
book progresses, from what is more general to what is the more
autobiographically specific in relation to myself. After all, the book is not
a general account of 20th century philosophizing but merely a sketch of
some episodes in which I was in some way involved.
One brief explanatory apology. In a few instances some redundancy in
the discussion will be unavoidable where the same persons or issues recur
in different and distinct contexts. Such repetition is the price of self
contained readability.
I am grateful to Estelle Burris for her able and efficient help in putting
this material into publishable shape.
