Description
Bernard Williams's Essays and Reviews 1959-2002 offers a unique insight into the mind of one of the most important philosophers of the past fifty years. A distinguished critic and essayist, Williams brings his elegant style and rare ability to communicate complex ideas to a wide public.
This collection includes Williams's popular reviews and essays on a broad range of subjects, from philosophy to science, the humanities, economics, feminism, and pornography. The book provides an intellectual tour through the past half century, featuring reviews of landmark books and thinkers such as C. S. Lewis and Noam Chomsky.
Throughout, readers see Williams grappling with major works in "real time," before critical consensus had formed and ossified. This collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Williams's thought and the intellectual landscape of the past half century.
