reviewed Macrosociology: Four Modern Theorists on December 31, 2014
Macrosociology
The overview that this book undertook is perfect for someone that has yet to decide if they would like to take a crack at the first-hand material (and its opaqueness) of this branch of philosophy. Some aspects were given greater emphasize (Quine, Wittgenstein). Others were abrupt (Austin, Moore, Hume). But overall, it was a very informative read; but I would perhaps recommend something even a bit more informal for those first-timers. As analytic philosophy surrounds its analysis on language and modal logic, which can be quite a daunting task to understand.
But like many forms of this type of book, it primarily explores its subject-matter through less quantifiable forms. I definitely can understand the reason, as jargon implies explaining that jargon. But oftentimes the non-technical explanations made things more obscure than they needed to be.
