Scepticism and Naturalism: Some Varieties by Pf Strawson

Scepticism and Naturalism: Some Varieties by Pf Strawson

Presents a discussion of scepticism, which defines as questioning the adequacy of our grounds for holding various beliefs. This title draws deftly on Hume and Wittgenstein to argue that we must distinguish between 'hard', scientific naturalism; or 'soft', humanistic naturalism.

‘If one man were to be singled out as personifying Oxford analytic philosophy over the past thirty years, Sir Peter would be that personIn all these four lectures. . .he weighs in four traditional arenas of philosophical contention. In one arena the existence of external objects is at stake, in the other the grounds of morality, in a third the status of mentalistic language, and in the fourth the existence of abstract objects.’ New York Review of Books

‘It is a delight to have this book before us. At a level of considerable abstractness an important idea is put to work in the sure hands of a master to illuminate extremely difficult questions at the centre of philosophy.’ The Times Literary Supplement
