摘要
What can examining the introductions to books in philosophy tell us about those books, and about that discipline? This article begins by differentiating 'insider' and 'outsider' perspectives on the discipline of philosophy, questioning the most likely understanding of this division as one between professional and 'layman', and emphasizing instead a basic distinction between 'affirmative' and 'non-affirmative'. The introduction, I suggest, is productively symptomatic of the character of contemporary philosophy. Like an owl pellet, it can tell us a lot about the kind of creature that philosophy is and the environment it inhabits.
