Product Description:
This book brings together a selection of Colin McGinn's philosophical essays from the 1970s to the 1990s, whose unifying theme is the relation between the mind and the world. The essays range over a set of prominent topics in contemporary philosophy, including the analysis of knowledge, the a priori, necessity, possible worlds, realism, mental representation, appearance and reality, and color.
Summary: An Important Collection
Rating: 5
This text offers an important collection of previously published articles on topics such as a priori knowledge and perceptual knowledge. McGinn's prose style here is clear and rigorous. I highly recommend this text.
