Idolizing the Idea

Mehr zum Buch

The book critically examines modern philosophy through the lens of Thomas Reid's argument that the 'way of ideas' has hindered intellectual progress. Cristaudo contends that the prevailing ideas in modern thought often constrain rather than liberate our understanding, leading to a cycle of confinement in philosophical discourse. By tracing this historical trajectory, the author highlights the detrimental effects of these dominant ideas on the evolution of philosophical thought.
