A provocative survey of interdisciplinary challenges to the concept of
dualism. During the last few decades, the fundamental premises of the
modern view of knowledge have been increasingly called into question.
Questioning Nineteenth-Century Assumptions about Knowledge III:
Dualism provides an in-depth look at the debates surrounding the
status of “dualism” in the sciences, social sciences, and the
humanities in detailed and wide-ranging discussions among experts from
across the disciplines. The extent to which the questionable necessity
of a transcendent nomos; individualistic approaches versus systems
ontology; rationality—material and formal—and how scholars might
overcome the two cultures divide might impinge on the possibility, but
not the inevitability, of progress are among the issues explored here.
Weaving together in-depth articles and invigorating follow up
discussions, this volume showcases debates over the status and
validity of dualism. Of special interest are developing alternatives
to traditional dualistic categories through an innovative, new
approach based on biological naturalism; challenges to the dualism of
people and things; the imperfectness and subjectivity of perception;
and the overcoming the dualism of philosophy and science.
