P. F. Strawson

Opis

P. F. Strawson here presents a selection of his shorter writings from the 1970s to the 1990s in the two areas of philosophy to which he has contributed most notably: philosophy of language and Kantian studies. A new introduction offers an overview of the essays, their topics, and their interrelations. This collection represents some of the most fascinating work of one of the foremost philosophers of the late twentieth century.

Recenzje

Few would disagree that P.F. Strawson and W.V.O. Quine have been the leading figures in Anglo-American philosophy during the second half of the twentieth century...we are very fortunate that Strawson has been both willing and so brilliantly able to resist the Quinean juggernaut for five decades.
