Faye's efforts to remedy the postmodern condition deserve the widest critical support. -Thomas Uebel, The Vienna Circle Institute Yearbook Faye's neomodernism with its emphasis on naturalistic and pragmatic considerations is a step into the right direction. Abandoning the humanities in the anarchic world of 'anything goes' is not the right strategy for an analytic philosophy of science, and Faye has shown one way to claim back the philosophy of humanities from the occupation of postmodernism. Though neomodernism might not have reached its maturity yet, it is an overall laudable enterprise. -C. Mantzavinos, Metascience Faye's book examines the most typical representatives not only of the 'analytical', but also of the 'continental' philosophy (such as Gadamer, Habermas, Heidegger, Derrida, and Ricoeur). All this makes this book a very important contribution to the discussion concerning the epistemological and methodological status of the human sciences -Marco Buzzoni, RECENSIONI.
