Interpretation, relativism, and the metaphysics of culture

"Contemporary American philosopher Joseph Margolis has created and defended a metaphysics and a logic that he has applied throughout the realms of culture. But is Margolis's account fully consistent? Is it adequate to the needs of interpreting practice in the natural and human sciences?"--BOOK JACKET. "In a spirit of good-natured dialogue, leading scholars of various philosophical persuasions critically engage these important questions. The fourteen previously unpublished essays in this volume explore Margolis's contributions, ranging from the subtle issues of detail within his system to very general questions of the need, viability, and value of a hermeneutic, relativistic metaphysics of flux. At the conclusion of the book, Professor Margolis responds to points raised in each paper."--BOOK JACKET.
