Cycnos | Numéros | Volume 17.1 - Aspects de la philosophie américaine aujourd'hui

Résumé :

Christiane Chauviré sketches the history of the idea of a “scientific philosophy,”; from the Vienna Circle to today’s “neuro-philosophy.”; Since the 1930s, the romantic vision of a spiritual community of “service intellectuals”;, serving a cultural, philosophical and social cause, has gradually given way a to “professional,”; professedly scientific brand of philosophy patterned after the “neuro-sciences.”; Deliberately disregarding the warnings issued by Khun and other heralds of the crisis of rationality, it cultivates the ideal of the purity of science and of a philosophy unencumbered by metaphysics.
