Conceptions of Philosophy by Anthony O'hear

Is philosophy capable of establishing truths scientifically? If not, what can it do? What is its standing and what are its credentials? Is philosophy an essential element in humane study? Can philosophy establish anything at all? Philosophy asks questions about all areas of experience, but what about philosophy itself? In 2007-8, The Royal Institute of Philosophy, in its annual lecture series, asked distinguished philosophers to reflect on the nature, scope and possibility of philosophy. Contributors include Peter van Inwagen, Stephen Clark, John Cottingham, P. M. S. Hacker, Michela Massimi, Stephen Mullhall, Herman Philipse and Bryan Magel.
Anthony O'Hear is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Buckingham, where he is also Head of the Department of Education. He is the editor of the journal Philosophy and Honorary Director of The Royal Institute of Philosophy.
