The Practical Origins of Ideas: Genealogy as Conceptual Reverse-Engineering
Queloz, Matthieu (Junior Research Fellow, Wolfson College and Member of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford)
Why did such highly abstract ideas as truth, knowledge, or justice become so important to us? What was the point of coming to think in these terms? Matthieu Queloz presents a method for answering such questions: pragmatic genealogy. We can make sense of these grand abstractions by identifying their roots in concrete practical concerns.
