'An engaging and masterful interpretation of the history of Western philosophy, The Ordering of Time is much more than that. Profoundly ethical, this is a book for our times, troubled as they are by doomful threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic depression, and climate change. George Lucas shows how to care about the past - its injustice as well as its grandeur and everyday facticity - so that we recover and respect insights that make life worth living and presenting to those who follow after us.' John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College 'George Lucas has provided the reader with an engaging invitation to consider the importance of the history of philosophy at a time when philosophers have turned away from the study of the great ideas it contains. This work is fundamental for anyone who wishes to think through what philosophy is.' Donald Phillip Verene, Emory University Thinking with, rather than thinking about the history of philosophy What is the history of philosophy? What exactly is this the history of and how is that history to be understood in relationship to philosophy itself? Can philosophy's history, on any of a number of diverse descriptions, ever be said in its own right to constitute a unique and genuine source of philosophical wisdom or insight? George Lucas sweeps aside the constraints of traditional methodological and cultural boundaries to reflect broadly on a variety of answers to these questions, as posed by many of the major philosophical figures of the past century. Inviting a re-consideration of the work of scholars as diverse as Alasdair MacIntyre, Leo Strauss, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Richard Rorty, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Bertrand Russell, Arthur Danto, Martha Nussbaum, Paul Ricoeur, Charles Taylor, Keith Lehrer and Jerome Schneewind, Lucas ranges widely over the history of philosophy itself in search of original, probing answers to these profound and perennial issues. George Lucas is Distinguished Chair in Ethics and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the US Naval Academy.
