Title: The Modernist-Postmodernist Quarrel on Philosophy and Justice
Description: "The Modernist-Postmodernist Quarrel on Philosophy and Justice examines the social relevance of philosophy as it is posed in the contemporary modernist-postmodernist debate. Manuel P. Arriaga critically investigates the two sides of the debate in their various presuppositions and their equally diverse ramifications in wide-ranging fields including political theory, philosophy of religion, and theory of knowledge, among others. Using the problem of social justice as a touchstone in threshing out the issue and aided particularly by the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, Arriaga also presents a view of the social relevance of philosophy that incorporates the good points of the opposing camps of the debate.

This book will interest anyone wishing to learn about the social relevance of what philosophers do."--Jacket.
