Form and Reason by Edward Halper
The essays in this volume are exploratory and exegetical rather than decisive. Their contribution to metaphysics lies in the issues they raise, the methods they explore, and their conception of metaphysics as a discipline rooted in philosophical problems."Edward Halper's book Form and Reason is an unusual work of striking promiseAlthough it takes the form of a series of discussions of central arguments in Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, and Nietzsche, Halper's work stands apart from typical scholarship in the field by calling into question not only the reigning interpretations of these seminal figures, but also the entire sweep of the prevailing orthodoxies in philosophy today, from analytic philosophy to pragmatism to hermeneutics. Halper writes with a deceptive modesty, advancing point by point in methodical analyses of ancient and modern debates in ethics and metaphysics, with a style spare and crystal clear, yet packed with original insights." — Richard Winfield, University of Georgia
