Description
Book SynopsisPhilosophy in the Anglophone world is in a period of unprecedented change. If the twentieth century was one of increased specialisation and narrowing of concerns, the twenty-first looks like being one of expanding horizons. In this volume, philosophers offer their suggestions for ways in which this expansion might most fruitfully be pursued.
