Mot en kritisk filosofisociologi - En studie om uppdelningen mellan den analytiska och kontinentala filosofin som uttryck för varans dualitet

Sammanfattning: The aim of this thesis is twofold: First, the possibilities of constructing a theory of sociology of philosophy by considering Moishe Postones reinterpretation of Marx's critical theory is explored. This critical sociology of philosophy is constructed upon Postones notion that capitalist modernity is constituted by peculiar social relations grounded on the category of the commodity, more specifically, its dualistic nature between an abstract and a concrete dimension. Secondly, based on this constructed theory of critical sociology of philosophy, the structural foundation of the opposition between analytical and continental philosophy is analyzed through an ideational approach on John Rawls' A Theory of Justice and Michel Foucault?s Histoire de la folie
