Description
Book SynopsisThis volume attempts to engage the reader's active participation in understanding how philosophy came to be split between analytic and continental approaches and in finding ways to reconcile the two. It traces the history of philosophy as a contest between two opposing world views.
Trade Review“The Quarrel Between Invariance and Flux offers a fine collection of primary texts centering on a single main issue together with first-rate commentary by Joseph Margolis, one of the most interesting and best-informed contemporary philosophers. The happy result is an unusually well thought out and useful anthology, combining Continental and Analytic sources, which will be of interest to beginning and advanced students everywhere.”
—Tom Rockmore,Duquesne University
“This unusual compendium makes accessible the major themes that Margolis has elaborated in recent decades. It is philosophically clear and didactically effective. The book provides synoptic and distinctive treatments of highly contested philosophical quarrels, complete with primary texts that are sometimes unorthodox. The result is a unique and important resource.”
—Michael Krausz,Bryn Mawr College
