3Praxis and ActionPraxis and Action (review)Review of Metaphysics 25 (4): 737-744. 1972.A second way of obscuring the true relationship between philosophy and the history of philosophy is to convert all philosophers into contemporaries who are offering competing solutions to perennial problems, either in the characteristically British way of treating the great philosophers of the past as though they were candidates for fellowships at Oxford colleges whose confusions were being laid bare at an interview; or in the characteristically French way of seeing existentialism in the most im…Read more

14Philosophical Education Against Contemporary CultureProceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association 87 43-56. 2013.Four stages in an adequate philosophical education are distinguished. The first is that in which students learn to put in question some commonly shared assumptions about what happiness is and to ask what the good of engaging in this kind of questioning is. The second is a conceptual and linguistic analysis of “good” which enables questions about what human goods are to be formulated. The third is an investigation into the nature and unity of human beings designed to enable us to propose rational…Read more

227A mistake about causality in social scienceRussian Sociological Review 12 (1): 139-157. 2013.The article considers the problem of actions–beliefs link. As author shows, the widespread approach in social science, those origins can be traced back to Hume and Mill and which tries to reveal the causal relations between beliefs and actions, is mistaken. It is mistaken because it proposes that, firstly, beliefs and actions are distinct and separately identifiable social phenomena and, secondly, causal connection consists in constant conjunction. MacIntyre, instead, proposes, taking as a start…Read more

But most of the characteristics of analytic philosophy which Rorty ascribes to that collapse predated logical empiricism. The historical explanation of the present state of philosophy must begin not later than with the schism between philosophy and the other disciplines in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To begin then leads to a different view of how philo…Read more
