Publisher's Synopsis
Although the current usefulness of philosophical thinking has been critically questioned, no one seems to have noticed that it lies at the very heart of scientific research and advancement. It is true that it does not bear this name, but this does not mean that it is not used in parallel with exact scientific thinking.As for "academic" philosophy, we can say that it has lost its very essence: the development of new visions of things and of the world. Academic philosophy has moved away from the core from which new conceptualizations of the world and reality emerge. It is in the process of analyzing and classifying current cultural products.But "philosophical thinking" as such, which produces new representations of the world, has now taken refuge in the midst of science, in the very heart of scientific research: never before has there been such a volume of revolutions and changes in scientific foundations.
