Reshaping Reason: Toward a New Philosophy

In Reshaping Reason, John McCumber breathes new life into American philosophy. Moving past the tired divide between analytic and continental camps, he proposes new directions to unite a discipline which has become more unfocused and invisible. McCumber recommends a new set of rational tools to enable philosophers and then puts these tools to work to redefine epistemology, ontology, and ethics. Reshaping Reason explores philosophy's achievements and failures in a cold light and paves the way for the discipline to become more meaningful and relevant to society at large.
