Philosophizing with Past Thinkers: The Historical Dimension of Philosophical Problems

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Philosophy appears to deal with propositions that stand alone; this paper suggests that every philosophical tenet has a history, which is necessary to know in order to understand the idea. This is evident in doctrines that are unusual. As Robin G. Collingwood suggested, if something seems absurd, it is the answer to a question that is not yet understood. This question may be enveloped in a story. Consequently, doing philosophy can mean teUing stories that create a framework in which thinking takes place. For all thinking takes place in a framework that is not itself thematic in the thought, as Michael Polanyi said. Again, whatever is external to philosophical ideas is what can be captured in stories. So the question remains: how to detect, in a philosophical problem, its history? As this paper shows, most philosophers tell stories about how their ideas originated; many of them deliberately establish the framework with hints at the history of their ideas. Investigating the history of philosophical ideas, therefore, amounts to seriously philosophizing.
