Gareth Evans

Opis

This volume collects thirteen papers by one of the leading philosophers of his generation, who died prematurely in 1980. The majority deal with the philosophy of language, informed by a lively sense of the interconnections with issues in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind.

Recenzje

Gareth Evans ... was widely regarded as the most brilliant and exciting philosopher of his generation ... The present volume now collects his previously published papers ... together with two substantial unpublished pieces ... These two papers, like the older ones, exemplify Evans's great virtues—his ability to develop sophisticated arguments with great clarity, his lightly worn technical expertise, and above all his capacity to get to the very heart of philosophical issues. This is analytical philosophy of the very highest quality. Those who already know Evans's work will be grateful to have his scattered papers brought together in this handsome volume; and any professional philosopher or advanced student unfamiliar with his work has an intellectual treat in store.
