{"product_id":"philosophical-finesse","title":"Philosophical Finesse","description":"This book puts forward an interpretation of rationality which is much broader than the one underlying the current polarity between analytic and continental philosophy. It will help to reaffirm a range of ideas which have long been pushed to the sidelines by the dominance of the geometric model of philosophical argument.\n\nDescartes's dream of attaining a `certitude equal to the demonstrations of Arithmetic and Geometry' reinforced the assumption that rationality must be assessed in terms of logical structure. Against this, Pascal invoked the notion of `finesse', and Warner extends Pascal's usage in this book to specify a related set of informal but legitimate styles of argument.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230143697240,"sku":"9780198244554","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780198244554_326adabc-1a33-40af-a7f4-bff51daab2f0.jpg?v=1778535950","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/philosophical-finesse","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
