The British philosopher, Peter Strawson, has helped shape the
development of philosophy for over fifty years. His work has
radically altered the philosophical concept of analysis, returned
metaphysics to centre stage in Anglo-American philosophy, and has
transformed the framework for subsequent interpretations of Kantian
philosophy. In this, the first, introduction to Strawson's ideas,
Clifford Brown focuses on a selection of Strawson's most important
texts and close and detailed examination of the arguments, and
contributions to debates (with, for example, Russell, Quine and
Austin), which have done the most to establish Strawson's
formidable reputation. Each chapter provides clear exposition of a
central work and explores the ways in which other philosophers have
responded to Strawson's initiatives. Brown shows how Strawson's
philosophical approach has been to seek better understanding of
particular concepts or concept-groups and to draw out an awareness
of parallels and connections among them that sheds new light over
an apparently familiar landscape. The central thoughts in logic and
language with which Strawson began his career are shown to have
remained constant throughout while manifesting their applications
across an even broader range of philosophical topics.
