First Published in 1975, Philosophy and Its Place in Our Culture aims to show what relevance philosophy may have to human affairs. In the course of this study, a number of other important issues are brought to light. Issues like the need to explain in a new way, and a form intelligible to everyone, what philosophy is about, and to evaluate philosophical achievement of traditional aims- a chastening enterprise.
The way is then clear to seek new functions. Philosophy offers signposts first to the inner nature of its practitioners, and then to aspects of the nature of society and its historical periods. This knowledge is two pronged. Philosophy not only affords a clue to man and society but can even prove a powerful influence over them. John Wisdom discusses such influences, and considers the path open to man. This is a must read for students of philosophy.
