Peter Frederick Strawson Knihy

Sir Peter F. Strawson (1919) patrí medzi najoriginálnejších európskych filozofov druhej polovice 20. storočia. Od roku 1947 pôsobil na univerzite v Oxforde a venoval sa najmä skúmaniu vzťahov medzi logikou a jazykom. V knihe Analýza a metafyzika nájde čitateľ texty jeho prednášok z rokov 1968 – 1987, možno ju považovať úvod do filozofie, pričom autor postupuje od globálneho k lokálnemu, od všeobecného k špecifickému, od hrubého náčrtu k podrobnej analýze.

Peter Strawson (1919-2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant's philosophy, and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant's transcendental idealism, it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant's fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity, experience and knowledge - at a time when few philosphers were engaging with Kant's ideas. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant's philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant, the soundness of transcendental arguments, and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Lucy Allais.

Presents a discussion of scepticism, which defines as questioning the adequacy of our grounds for holding various beliefs. This title draws deftly on Hume and Wittgenstein to argue that we must distinguish between 'hard', scientific naturalism; or 'soft', humanistic naturalism.

By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. Beginning with Freedom and Resentment, this collection is a testament to the astonishing range of Strawson's thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics.
