RESUMO: Este texto trata de uma resenha do livro de Nicholas Maxwell (2014), Global philosophy: What philosophy ought to be? Exeter, UK: ImprintAcademic, Societas – Essays in Political & Cultural Criticism
Nicholas Maxwell revisits for the most part ideas, arguments, and positions he has been defending quite forcefully for the past 40 years or so. These include his conceptions of what philosophy ought to be, about the nature of science and its progressmaking features, how to best construe empiricism and rationality, his take on the history and philosophy of science, on philosophy and the history of philosophy, the nature of inquiry, and his position about the role of education and the university more generally in view of his rather pessimistic yet compellingly realistic diagnosis of the problems and challenges confronting our world at this point in our history
There is a sense in which wisdominquiry fuses these together in the one basic aim of seeking and promoting wisdom – wisdom being the capacity, and perhaps the active desire, to realize what is of value in life, for oneself and for others; wisdom including knowledge and technological knowhow but much else besides (103)
