‘This elegant and rigorous book provides students and
scholars with an accessible, sympathetic and yet critical overview
of McDowell’s unusually demanding but highly influential body
of work. It will surely prove pivotal to future discussions, not
only of this author, but also of the central philosophical themes
with which he has been preoccupied.’ Stephen Mulhall,
University of Oxford
'...certainly a helpful introduction. The force and
direction of McDowell's thinking is best appreciated cumulatively -
his work is holistic not atomistic - and de Gaynesford provides a
comprehensive and informed means of situating it's various
stands.'
Philosophical Papers
'This book is a wonderful introduction to a very complex
philosopher. Gaynesford succeeds in both making McDowell accessible
while at the same time providing intersting suggestions for future
discussions. Suggested reading sorted according to topic is
provided at the end.'
