The Methods of Contemporary Thought

Focusing on philosophical methodology, Professor Bochenski presents an accessible introduction to contemporary philosophical practices, emphasizing four distinct methods from the twentieth century. He critiques the lack of attention given to methodology in English-speaking philosophy, contrasting it with scientific methodology, which he argues is often unnecessary. Through his exploration, Bochenski highlights the debates between different philosophical approaches, such as phenomenology and mathematical logic, offering insights into their respective merits and implications for understanding the world.
