Various Philosophical Studies

Annotation

First published in 1948, Philosophical Studies presents a collection of essays written by friends and colleagues of Professor L. Susan Stebbing in the Aristotelian Society. Most of these essays do not bear directly on Professor Stebbings' work, but they deal with problems which she discussed time and again at the Society's meetings. It explores themes like moral ends and means; reflections occasioned by ideals and illusions; reason in history; the logic of elucidation; logic and semantics; philosophy of nature; and epistemology and the ego-centric predicament. This book is a must read for students and scholars of Philosophy.
