What are the upshots, they ask, for philosophers and their subject? One way of responding was to give up the traditional aims so as to protect oneself from further embarrassment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the strategy we find in the early Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, and in Quine who, in their own ways, tried to reconceive the aims and subject matter of philosophy in a narrow fashion that took science as its model. This move, however, comes with its own embarrassments, as we illustrate with the later Wittgenstein's cautionary remarks about the embarrassments of scientism and his warnings about the related inclination to self-deception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934185472236,"sku":"9781839997662","price":319.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781839997662-philosophical-embarrassment.jpg?v=1783902225"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/peter-campbell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
