Book Overview
Central Works of Philosophy is a five-volume collection of essays on the core texts of the Western philosophical canon over 2,500 years. These books offer remarkable insights into the ideas out of which our present ways of thinking emerged and without which they cannot fully be understood. Volume 5 covers the central works in the history of analytic philosophy, from Quine's Word and Object to McDowell's Mind and World. Essays on Donald Davidson, Michael Dummett, P. F. Strawson, Charles Taylor, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams, Richard Rorty, Saul Kripke, Hilary Putnam, and David Lewis range over political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophies of language, mind, and logic. Representing some of the most important philosophical work of the last forty years, this volume provides a map and compass for the current philosophical landscape. Central Works of Philosophy is aimed at the undergraduate student and the general reader. The essays provide both an overview of the work and clear and authoritative exposition of its central ideas, giving readers the resources and confidence to read the works themselves. Book jacket.
