Janita Tetlow: Branch of philosophy that tries to determine the proper aims, methods, and conditions for the discipline of philosophy itself. Recommended Reading: Jerry H.

The term is derived from Greek word meta μετά ("after", "beyond", "with") and philosophía φιλοσοφία ("love of wisdom").The term has gained currency since the mid-twentieth century[1] but currently there is no accepted opinion, nor a notable debate if a 'second ! order philosophy' is, or could be, something different from 'plain philosophy'. In the analytical tradition it is mostly used to tag commenting and research on previous works[2] as opposed to original contributions towards solving philosophical problems.Morris Lazerowitz claims to have launched the term around 1940 and apparently has used it in print in 1942.[3] Earlier uses have been found in translations from the French.[4] During the 1960 it became more or less current, being used by Richard Rorty[5] or in the title of Lazerowitz' book of essays.[6] Since 1970 a journal Metaphilosophy is published.[7]http://www.answers.com/topic/metaphilosophy...Show more

Everette Rovinsky: Because it deals with goals and methods of how to approach philosophy, as you correctly mentioned, it can't be called Philosophy 2.0.Philosophy 2.0 will seem like an 'upgraded version' of philosophy, which metaphilosophy is clearly not.

David Boehler: No, metaphilosophy is still philosophy! . There's no "2.0" attached.

Raelene Cunnick: No it's dr! eaming 3.0A

Joie Libutti: It's not philosophy "2.0". It's just philosophy. Philosophy about philosophy, which is still just philosophy.
