520 8  "In The Practical Origins of Ideas Matthieu Queloz 
       presents a philosophical method designed to answer such 
       questions: the method of pragmatic genealogy. 0Pragmatic 
       genealogies are partly fictional, partly historical 
       narratives exploring what might have driven us to develop 
       certain ideas in order to discover what these do for us. 
       The book uncovers an under-appreciated tradition of 
       pragmatic genealogy which cuts across the analytic-
       continental divide, running from the state-of-nature 
       stories of David Hume and the early genealogies of 
       Friedrich Nietzsche to recent work in analytic philosophy 
       by Edward Craig, Bernard Williams, and Miranda 
       Fricker.0However, these genealogies combine fictionalizing
       and historicizing in ways that even philosophers 
       sympathetic to the use of state-of-nature fictions or real
       history have found puzzling. To make sense of why both 
       fictionalizing and historicizing are called for, this book
       offers a systematic account of pragmatic genealogies as 
       dynamic models serving to reverse-engineer the points of 
       ideas in relation not only to near-universal human needs, 
       but also to socio-historically situated needs. This allows
       the method to offer us explanation without reduction and 
       to help us understand what led our ideas to shed the 
       traces of their practical origins. Far from being 
       normatively inert, moreover, pragmatic genealogy can 
       affect the space of reasons, guiding attempts to improve 
       our conceptual repertoire by helping us determine whether 
       and when our ideas are worth having"--|cProvided by
