Abstract
Most of the chapters in this volume were prepared by philosophers who implicitly
practise their discipline as one whose most effective modern function would be to appraise
the human experience in all its dimensions from the standpoints of the modern social and
natural sciences, all disciplinary offspring of philosophy itself. It is for this reason that the
tenor of the included contributions is not only propositional but also engaged in the meta-analysis of the theories on which the concept of development is founded and practised
