{"product_id":"philosophical-finesse","title":"Philosophical Finesse","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.  Descartes's dream of attaining a `certitude equal to the demonstrations of Arithmetic and Geometry' reinforced the assumption\n\u003cbr\u003ethat 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\n\u003cbr\u003einformal but legitimate styles of argument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059484250350,"sku":"9780198244554","price":102.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198244554.jpg?v=1736500397","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/philosophical-finesse","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
