Philosophy in Play: Three Dialogues

In this lively collection of dialogues, Bencivenga endeavors to be true to the nature of philosophical practice-its constant superseding of its own results, its open-endedness, its paradoxical turning of a position into its opposite -- as he explores issues ranging from feminism to metaphysics, from the philosophy of science to aesthetics, as well as the intrinsically dialogic nature of philosophical activity itself.
