Grammar, Nonsense and Imagination in Philosophical Investigations, 243-315 Politics, Philosophy & Economics
Stephen Mulhall
Oxford University Press 2007 148 pages
Qty
Hardback 0199208549
Published Price £27.50 Our Price £9.99
Stephen Mulhall presents a detailed critical commentary on sections 243-315 of Philosophical Investigations: the famous remarks on 'private language'. In so doing he makes use of Stanley Cavell's interpretations of these remarks; and he relates disputes about how to interpret this aspect of Wittgenstein's later philosophy to a recent, highly influential controversy about how to interpret the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by drawing a distinction between resolute and substantial understandings of the notions of grammar, nonsense and the imagination.

A Dilemma in the Philosophy of Life Politics, Philosophy & Economics

The ancient Greeks typically assumed that a rational life would also be the happiest or most fulfilling. Persson's book resumes this project, but his conclusions are very different: by exploring the irrationality of our attitudes to time, our identity and our responsibility, Persson shows that the aim of living rationally conflicts not only with the aim of leading the most fulfilling life, but also with the moral aim of promoting the maximization and just distribution of fulfilment for all.

Politics, Philosophy & Economics
PJE Kail
Oxford University Press 2007 268 pages
Qty
Hardback 0199229503
Published Price £45.00 Our Price £12.99
In his writings, Hume talks of our 'gilding and staining' natural objects and of the mind's propensity to 'spread itself' on the world. This has led commentators to use the metaphor of 'projection' in connection with his philosophy. By considering what it is about Hume's writing that occasions this metaphor, Kail spells out its meaning, the role it plays in Hume's work, and examines how, if at all, what sounds 'projective' in Hume can be reconciled with what sounds 'realist'.

The Free Will Debate in Eighteenth-Century british Philosophy Politics, Philosophy & Economics
James A Harris
Oxford University Press 2007 264 pages
Qty
Paperback 0199234752
Published Price £22.50 Our Price £7.99
James A Harris presents the first comprehensive account of the free will problem in 18th century British philosophy, proposing new interpretations of the positions of familiar figures such as Locke, Hume, Edwards and Reid. He also gives careful attention to the contributions of writers such as William King, Samuel Clarke, Anthony Collins, Lord Kames, James Beattie, David Hartley, Joseph Priestly and Dugald Stewart, who, while well-known in the 18th century, have since been largely ignored by historians of philosophy.

Politics, Philosophy & Economics
Keith Hossack
Oxford University Press 2007 310 pages
Qty
Hardback 0199206724
Published Price £45.00 Our Price £26.00
Here, Keith Hossack presents the thesis that 'knowledge' is a primitive term, an absolutely fundamental relation, with an indispensable role to play in metaphysics, philosophical logic and philosophy of mind and language. Following this central premise that knowledge is a relation of a mind to a fact, Hossack provides a theory of facts as combinations of particulars and universals and gives an account of content as a mode of presentation of a fact.
