Extreme Philosophy: Bold Ideas and a Spirit of Progress - Paperback

by Stephen Hetherington (Editor)

Philosophy's value and power are greatly diminished when it operates within a too closely confined professional space. Extreme Philosophy serves as an antidote to the increasing narrowness of the field. It offers readers twenty internationally acclaimed philosophers who highlight and defend odd, extreme, or 'mad' ideas.
