Book Description:
|
Thorne confronts the history and enduring legacy of anti-foundationalist thought. At its heart, this book is a plea not to take doubt at its word--a plea for the return of a vanished philosophical intelligence and for the retirement of an anti-Enlightenment thinking that commits the very crimes that it lays at Enlightenment's door.
