Is philosophy progressive?
Augmentation, vol. 2, no. 2, 1988, pp. 157–174
Abstract
Abstract Any adequate attempt to discuss progressivity in philosophy should provide some explanation of why philosophy persistently honours ldquothe old and the falserdquo and deals with original texts in a way in which science does not. An attempt is made to answer this question by appealing to: (1) the aporetic character of philosophy; (2) the semantical solipsism of philosophy; (3) the subjectivity of philosophy, and; (4) poetical continuities in philosophy.
