A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor Wisdom gives an elementary introduction to the applications in philosophy of the analytical method. He believes that the aim of analysis is clarity, whereas the aim of speculative philosophy is truth. After a brief introduction on what analysis is, he discusses the relation of body and mind and seeks for causal relations between mental and material events. He concludes this section with a chapter on Free will, before turning to perception and the external world.

Revue de presse

'It is written with admirable clarity. It contains a number of novel and interesting doctrines, and indeed has something new to say on each of the main topics that it touches ... an excellent introduction to philosophical analysis as practised at Cambridge.' Mind
