Howison Lectures in Philosophy Robert Brandom (University of Pittsburgh) Reason, Genealogy, and the Hermeneutics of Magnanimity |
Genealogies (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault) present the revenge of naturalism on rationalism. Hegel teaches us how to replace the genealogical hermeneutics of suspicion with a hermeneutics of magnanimity that allows us to see naturalism and rationalism as complementing rather than competing with one another.
