This is Volume 3 of the most comprehensive anthology of writings in
Western philosophy in print. It assembles the classic essays of
Western philosophy of the twentieth century which have given shape
and value to its character and structure. From logical Positivism,
American Pragmatism, and Ordinary Language Philosophy to
Continental Philosophy, the selections have been chosen because
they are creative, controversial, and typically fascinating. Fifty
four selections of thirty nine authors are included, featuring the
work of McTaggart, Moore, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap. Quine,
Ayer, Kipke, Harrison, Gettier, Goldman, Strawson, Ryle, Dennett,
Davidson, Putnam, Nagel, Serle, Nozick, Rawls, Hussert, Heidegger,
Sartre, Foucault, Derrida, Rourty, and Habermas. Also featured are
seminal works in the philosophy of mind, free will/determinism, the
debate over religious truth, and political and moral philosophy
while the emphasis of the earlier volumes on epistemological and
metaphysical issues continues. This is a collection which students
and intelligent lay people can use without needing advanced
technical ability in logic or semantics. The volume opens with a
general essay by the editor on philosophy in the twentieth century;
a biographical sketch accompanies each author; and each selection
includes by an abstract and short bibliography.
