| Summary: | Eighteen of the world's most eminent philosophers of recent years tackle central questions of philosophy in this collection of the prestigious annual lectures given at the Royal Institute of Philosophy in London. The line-up of authors is stellar, including Simon Blackburn, Ned Block, Tyler Burge, David Chalmers, Noam Chomsky, Jerry Fodor, Jurgen Habermas, Anthony Kenny, Christine Korsgaard, John McDowell, Alasdair MacIntyre, Thomas Nagel, Derek Parfit, T. M. Scanlon, John Searle, Sir Peter Strawson, Bernard Williams and Mary Warnock. There are six pieces on questions to do with mind, perception and action, four on reason and morality, six range over freedom, identity, religion and politics and the last two take a step back to look at philosophy itself and how it works. The best way to learn about philosophy is to read philosophy at its best. That is what this fascinating anthology offers. |
