书名: Individuals: An Essay in Descriptive Metaphysics
作者: P.F. Strawson (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (December 31, 1990)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415051851
ISBN-13: 978-0415051859
Book Description
Since its publication in 1959, Individuals has become a modern philosophical classic. Bold in scope and ambition, it continues to influence debates in metaphysics, philosophy of logic and language, and epistemology. Peter Strawson's most famous work, it sets out to describe nothing less than the basic subject matter of our thought. It contains Strawson's now famous argument for descriptive metaphysics and his repudiation of revisionary metaphysics, in which reality is something beyond the world of appearances.
Throughout, Individuals advances some highly influential and controversial ideas, such as 'non-solipsistic consciousness' and the concept of a person a 'primitive concept'
Review
"This is a book of quite unusual interest and importance, which is likely greatly to influence philosophical discussion on the same and related topics for some time to come...It is a book to read and re-read by anyone with an interest in philosophy." -- Mind
