| | Postmodern philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Postmodern philosophy claims to be especially skeptical about simple binary oppositions that allegedly dominate Western metaphysics and humanism, such as the expectation that the philosopher may cleanly isolate knowledge from ignorance, social progress from reversion, dominance from submission, or presence from absence. | | | Postmodern philosophy is an eclectic and elusive movement characterized by its criticism of Western philosophy. | | | Postmodern philosophy also drew from the world of the arts, particularly Marcel Duchamp and artists who practiced collage. |

| | PES Yearbook: 1998: Gert Biesta, The Right to Philosophy of Education |
| | Derrida sees the history of Western philosophy as a continuous attempt to locate a fundamental ground which serves both as an absolute beginning and as a center from which everything originating from it can be mastered and controlled. | | | This becomes clear when we look at the way in which the transcendental style of critique is applied in educational philosophy. | | | Like transcendental critique, deconstruction problematizes the dogmatic installment of the critical criterion. |

| | Pico della Mirandola-Prismatic Perception of the Renaissance-CCRI |
| | It plays an important role, in a variety of interrelated meanings, in Western myth, philosophy, science, literature, religion and art. | | | The Renaissance represents the "whole" of which Renaissance philosophy is a "part." In turn, our description of the defining characteristics and currents of Renaissance philosophy provides the general framework for understanding Pico's philosophy of man. Finally, our comparison of Pico and da Vinci emerges from these preceding stages as the most specific focus of interpretation. | | | The prototype for our Humanities page is appropriately named Mona Lisa, after a famous painting by the Renaissance artist and visionary Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). |

| | Robertson, Leo Strauss on Early Modern Philosophy |
| | Since for Strauss modernity had at its beginning a fundamental reformulation of political philosophy, in order to grasp the nature of modernity, and thereby better to understand our contemporary crisis, we are required to return to the early modern political thinkers--those who initiated the project of modern political philosophy. | | | Strauss argues that the crisis of modernity, while corrosive of the social and political life in Western nations, could be for reflective souls an opportunity to be liberated from the project of modernity and its underlying assumptions. | | | Classical moral and political philosophy understood once and for all the primary structures necessary to the moral and political imagination. |

| | BUGBEE, Henry (1915-1999) |
| | Huston SMITH commends The Inward Morning (1958) as “the most Daoist western book I know.” Others call it “a uniquely American existentialism,” a “lyrical philosophy,” or a “philosophy of place.” In journal format, Bugbee explores wilderness, art, philosophy, and responsive receptivity in human thought and action. | | | These evocations exemplify a unique sense of philosophy and of writing philosophy. | | | The detached “reportorial” or “spectator’s” third-person stance toward the world and others, so characteristic of British empiricism and logical positivism, necessarily derails the quest for meaning that is the calling of philosophy and, in a wider sense, of human life. |
