Notes

  1. Unless otherwise stated, all references are to Waghid’s book that is the focus of this review.

  2. For a more detailed discussion of ‘what makes sense for us’ and of Wittgenstein’s notion ‘form of life’ see respectively Smeyers 1998 and 2006.

  3. Piotr Jaroszyński argues that “when people in the eleventh and twelfth century spoke of philosophy, they were thinking primarily of dialectics rather than metaphysics” (Jaroszyński 2011). The position of Islam referred to is similar to Christian Mediaeval theology.

  4. For a more detailed discussion of the importance of particularity in moral and educational contexts, see Smeyers 1992.

  5. For a thorough discussion of these and related issues see Smeyers and Lambeir 2001.
