Rezensionen

"This is an excellent collection of essays on the wide-ranging workof one of the most significant and original philosophers of ourday. They raise some fundamental questions about McDowell's viewson a variety of topics, to which his own exemplary responsesprovide extremely valuable further elaboration and development ofhis thought." Bill Brewer, University of Warwick

"A very welcome addition to the 'Philosophers and theirCritics' series: there is much to be learnt from theinterplay between the ten contributors' probing papers andMcDowell's responses to them." Jennifer Hornsby, BirkbeckCollege
