But he has taught philosophy for many years - in Rome, in Switzerland, and on a number of visits to the United States - and in this book provides an elementary introduction to contemporary work in the field. As a means to this end he has chosen to deal with four alternative methods employed by philosophers in the twentieth century. Philosophical methodology has not attracted much attention, in English speaking circles, as a distinct branch of the discipline of philosophy; the term 'methodologist', if used at all, would ordinarily be taken to refer to somebody concerned with scientific rather than philosophical method.

But philosophical methodology really makes a great deal more sense than scientific method ology.
