In this book a distinguished philosopher enters into a debate with Heidegger in order to provide a justification of metaphysics. Stanley Rosen presents a fresh interpretation of metaphysics that opposes the traditional doctrines attached by Heidegger, on the one hand, and by contemporary philosophers influenced by Heidegger, on the other. Rosen refutes Heidegger's claim that metaphysics (or what Heidegger calls Platonism) is derived from the Aristotelian science of being as being. He argues instead that metaphysics is simply a commonsensical reflection on the nature of ordinary experience and on standards for living a better life.
Set against the backdrop of philosophical exploration, this work is an interpretation of Plato's Phaedrus, intended to complement Stanley Rosen's earlier commentary on the Symposium. Completed in the early 1970s but rediscovered in 2013, the manuscript reveals insights into the dialogue's central themes, particularly through Rosen's emphasis on key passages. Despite only two articles being published prior, this text offers a significant and comprehensive perspective on love and rhetoric, showcasing Rosen's enduring philosophical contributions.
Focusing on Nietzsche's "Zarathustra," this study by Stanley Rosen explores its profound implications for philosophical and political change. It reveals Nietzsche's provocative ideas about transforming humanity by replacing the current decadent race with a new one. Rosen analyzes the complex rhetoric and esoteric messages within the text, situating it within the broader contexts of Greek, Christian, Enlightenment, and postmodernist thought, offering insights into its significance and the challenges of interpretation.
The exploration of the sophist as a false philosopher is central to this comprehensive study, which meticulously follows the dialogue's progression. Stanley Rosen delves into the philosophical debates between Theaetetus and the Eleatic Stranger, examining key themes such as the distinction between original and image, non-being, and false statements. By treating the dialogue as a dramatic unity, he analyzes the context, language, and character dynamics, offering insights that will captivate Plato scholars and anyone intrigued by the essence of philosophy.
The concept of the ordinary, along with such cognates as everyday life, ordinary language, and ordinary experience, has come into special prominence in late modern philosophy. Thinkers have employed two opposing yet related responses to the notion of the ordinary - scientific and phenomenological approaches on the one hand, and on the other, more informal or even anti-scientific procedures. Eminent philosopher Stanley Rosen here presents the first comprehensive study of the main approaches to theoretical mastery of ordinary experience. He evaluates the responses of a wide range of modern and contemporary thinkers and grapples with the peculiar problem of the ordinary - how to define it in its own terms without transforming it into a technical (and so, extraordinary) artifact.
