John McDowell is one of the most widely read philosophers in recent
years. His engagement with a philosophy of language, mind and
ethics and with philosophers ranging from Aristotle and
Wittgenstein to Hegel and Gadamer make him one of the most original
and outstanding philosophical thinkers of the post-war period. In
this clear and engaging book, Tim Thornton introduces and examines
the full range of McDowell's thought. After a helpful introduction
setting out McDowell's general view of philosophy, Thornton
introduces and explains the following topics: Wittgenstein on
philosophy, normativity and understanding; value judgements;
theories of meaning and sense; singular thought and Cartesianism;
perceptual experience and knowledge, disjunctivism and openness to
the world; Mind and World, the content of perceptual experience and
idealism; action and the debate with Hubert Dreyfus on conceptual
content and skilled coping. This second edition has been
significantly revised and expanded to include new sections on:
McDowell's work on disjunctivism and criticisms of it; a new
chapter on McDowell's modification of his account of perceptual
experience and conceptual content, and criticisms by Charles
Travis; and a new chapter on action and McDowell's engagement with
Hubert Dreyfus and the debate concerning skilled coping and
mindedness. The addition of a glossary and suggestions for further
reading makes John McDowell, second edition essential reading for
those studying McDowell, philosophy of language, philosophy of
mind, ethics and epistemology, as well as for students of the
recent history of analytical philosophy generally.
