John McDowell on Worldly Subjectivity Summary

John McDowell on Worldly Subjectivity: Oxford Kantianism Meets Phenomenology and Cognitive Sciences by Tony Cheng (National Chengchi University, Taiwan)

John McDowells philosophical ideas are both influential and comprehensive, encompassing philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics and the history of philosophy. This book is a much-needed systematic overview of McDowells thought that offers a clear and accessible route through the main elements of his philosophy. Arguing that the world and minded human subject are constitutively interdependent, the book examines and critically engages with McDowells views on naturalism of second nature, the inner space model, intentionality, personhood and practical wisdom. The book presents novel discussions on the debates between McDowell and other key philosophers, including Hubert Dreyfus, Robert Brandom, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Donald Davidson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Immanuel Kant, amongst others. Demonstrating a thorough understanding of McDowells work, Tony Cheng makes connections to both the phenomenological tradition and cognitive sciences to show the wider relevance of McDowells philosophy. In doing so, he sheds light on how influential McDowells thought is to the analytic tradition.

John McDowell on Worldly Subjectivity Reviews

McDowell is one of the most famous and influential philosophers in the world. This book is a concise but clear and comprehensive account of his philosophical system. It is very accurate, conveys the debates about his views, and critically evaluates McDowell and his critics. There is no better place to start studying McDowell. * Paul F Snowdon, Emeritus Grote Professor of Mind and Logic, UCL, U.K. *
This is not just an introduction to the work of one of the leading philosophers of our era but also a contribution to philosophy. Cheng is the ideal guide to his subject: insightful, sympathetic, but not uncritical. Both fans and critics of McDowell will learn from this book. * Quassim Cassam, Professor Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK *
