Reviews
"In 'The Life and Death of Philosophy' Robert Greene manages to resuscitate the corpse of philosophy in the course of performing a brilliant autopsy. Writing with the clarity adn crispness of a Roger Scruton, Greene puts before his reader the plight to which philosophy has brought itself, identifies the pint at which things started to go off the rails, and then, in confirmation of Dante's judgment that Aristotle is the "master of those who know," relies on the Stagirite for guidance on how things can be made right again. This is not a matter of going backward in time so much as recovering -or uncovering-truths that have been right under our noses all along. This eloquent plea for the tradition provides a bluepring for the philosophy of the third millenium." - Ralph McInerny "Who, then should read this book? Everyone who studies philosophy, anyone who wishes to know more about the foundations and prospects for a secure science of human behaviour, everyone who seeks unity among intellectual disciplines and, of course, every American student who bridles at the requirement to master a foreign or classical language. In short, anyone who revels in the intellectual life ought to read 'The Death and Life of Philosophy'." - Bruce Silver, 'Modern Language Notes'
