Title: Philosophy of culture as theory, method, and way of life : contemporary reflections and applications / edited by Przemysław Bursztyka, Eli Kramer, Marcin Rychter, Randall Auxier.
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2022] | Series: Philosophy as a way of life, 2666–6243 ; volume 2 | Includes index. | Summary: “The “idea” of culture comprises almost all human activities, from science to art, from music to microscopy. Does anything important escape the limits of this idea? The authors of this collection argue that all philosophy is really the philosophy of culture, since in some way each and every discipline and subdiscipline is foremost a manifestation of our collective cultural effort. Further, they argue that by engaging with philosophy as a cultural activity and as a discipline to meaningful engage with all dimensions of (inter)cultural life, we can live more meaningful, flourishing, and wisely guided lives”—Provided by publisher.
