Beschreibung
Metaphilosophy is an ever-growing field of research and is on the verge of forming another philosophical sub-discipline; whether this a welcome development or a further sign of decadence remains debatable. This review-article presents and criticizes several different metaphilosophical (and even some meta-metaphilosophical) approaches, arising from and targeting different traditions. One pervading issue being the choice and justification of both texts and criteria: in developing either descriptive or normative accounts, authors implicitly or explicitly rely on perspectives, concepts and norms which inform their criticisms and proposals - but without a justification of these metaphilosophical presuppositions, the positions themselves are in danger of losing their grounding. What emerges from such reflections is a heap of critical questions and an uneasy pluralism of problematic positions - as is good and proper for philosophy.
