Présentation du cours : Lloyd Gerson’s latest book issues a challenge
to contemporary philosophers to rethink the nature of their vocation, its
problems, presuppositions, and ends. Gerson bucks the mainstream to affirm that
naturalism in all its varieties, reductive as well as liberal, is a dead-end
and that if philosophy is possible at all as a branch of knowledge distinct
from the natural sciences, with a subject-matter of its own, then it is
possible only as Platonism. In this seminar we will critically discuss Gerson’s
claims through a thorough reading of his book.
