O knihe
Larry Powers' Non-contradiction is an engaging, innovative,
and delightful book. It re-tells the story of Greek philosophy
from the novel starting point that Parmenides, Plato and
Aristotle took their primary philosophical task to be the
defence of the principle of non-contradiction.
In the course of nine chapters devoted to ancient Western
philosophy we see Powers as the ally of the Greeks, and we
get the impression that he sees their project even more
clearly than they did.
The book also includes a substantial chapter that takes on
the challenge of explaining the importance of Hegel to modern
analytical philosophers, and another chapter that compares
our logical ways with those of ancient Indian and Chinese
thinkers, such as Dignaga and Chuang Tsu.
Interwoven with Powers' exposition of the history of philosophy
is a primer on his own meta-philosophy, a theory devoted to the
analysis and resolution of philosophical disagreements.
Especially those with an interest in logic and metaphysics will
want to study this book: throughout, the argumentation is
original, insightful, provocative, persistent and stimulating.
