What's the use of philosophy? Rather, he is deeply critical of philosophy as it is practiced today, a practice focused on narrow technical questions that are far removed from the concerns of human life. Philip Kitcher here grapples with an essential philosophical question: what the point of philosophy is, and what it should and can be.Kitcher's portrait of the discipline is not a familiar defense of the importance of philosophy or the humanities writ large.
Then, taking up ideas from William James and John Dewey, Kitcher provides a positive roadmap for the future of philosophy: first, as a discipline that can provide clarity to other kinds of human inquiry, such as religion He provides a penetrating diagnosis of why exactly contemporary philosophy has come to suffer this crisis, showing how it suffers from various syndromes that continue to push it further into irrelevance.
