In this highly original work, Robert Nozick develops new views
on philosophy's central topics and weaves them into a unified
philosophical perspective. It is many years since a major work in
English has ranged so widely over philosophy's fundamental
concerns: the identity of the self, knowledge and skepticism, free
will, the question of why there is something rather than nothing,
the foundations of ethics, the meaning of life.
Writing in a distinctive and personal philosophical voice, Mr.
Nozick presents a new mode of philosophizing. In place of the usual
semi-coercive philosophical goals of proof, of forcing people to
accept conclusions, this book seeks philosophical explanations and
understanding, and thereby stays truer to the original motivations
for being interested in philosophy.
Combining new concepts, daring hypotheses, rigorous reasoning,
and playful exploration, the book exemplifies how philosophy can be
part of the humanities.
