Book Synopsis
The Philosophical Inquiry develops a "global theory" on the nature of philosophy. This study compares the philosophical process to other cultural activities including, science, religion, and art. What this study reveals is that the philosophical inquiry is a conjectural inquiry, similar to science, which anticipates consensual results.
