Toward a Metaphysics of Culture: Routledge Studies in American Philosophy

Autor Joseph Margolis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2019
Toward a Metaphysics of Culture provides an initial, minimal, and original analysis of the concept of uniquely enlanguaged cultures of the human world and of the distinctive metaphysical features of whatever belongs to the things of that world: preeminently, persons, language, actions, artworks, products, history, practices, institutions, and norms. Emphasis is placed on the artifactual and hybrid nature of persons, naturalistic and post-Darwinian evolutionary considerations, and the bearing of the account on a range of disputed inquiries largely centered on the relationship between physical nature and human culture and between the natural and human sciences. The schema offered lays a foundation for a closer analysis of the human mind, cognition, interpretation, nomologicality, normativity, intentionality, realism, and related matters. The central thesis advances the heterodox notion, congruent with post-Darwinian studies in paleoanthropology, that the human person is a natural artifact, a functional transform of the primate members of Homo sapiens, by way of a complexly intertwined biological and encultured evolution, primarily dependent on the invention, transmission, and mastery of true language and the novel hybrid abilities that that makes possible. The emergence of persons is taken to be the obverse side of the mastery of language itself.

Recenzii

"Stimulating, provocative, and magisterial, Margolis’ intrepid study sketches how 21st century philosophers can develop what he terms pragmatism’s best prospects. By depicting human beings not as a natural kind but as a 'second-natured, artifactual transform' Margolis presses not only pragmatism but philosophy itself toward a more productive arena, one where biology and enlanguaged culture intersect."David L. Hildebrand, University of Colorado Denver

Descriere

Toward a Metaphysics of Culture offers a heterodox account of the human person and its enlanguaged culture as a natural but artifactual transform of the human primate and the physical world, in terms of its invention and mastery of language and of the emergent abilities that that makes possible.
