The Conversation of Humanity by Stephen Mulhall
Based on the author's Page-Barbour lectures, delivered at the University of Virginia in 2005, this work critically examines the idea that the nature of language can best be understood in terms of the model or figure of conversation.
Mulhall is one of the most productive philosophers of his generation within, and contesting, the Anglo-American tradition of philosophy... I should say plainly that I find the brief account of my work on moral perfectionism (which serves as a point of orientation for the lectures as a whole) to be remarkable. - Stanley Cavell ""No one around today writes with such elegance, power, and clarity about these difficult authors; there is always about a Mulhall text an almost hallucinatory lucidity."" - Jay M. Bernstein, The New School, author of Classical and Romantic German Aesthetics
Stephen Mulhall, Fellow in Philosophy at New College, Oxford, is the author of Philosophical Myths of the Fall and Inheritance and Originality: Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Kierkegaard.
