The Making Of A Philosopher by Colin Mcginn

Colin McGinn sets out to make philosophy accessible to the layperson 'by describing what it is like to be a philosopher from the inside'. The result is part memoir, part introduction to philosophy; the self-portrait of an inquiring mind engaged by the radicalism of both rock 'n' roll and Bertrand Russell, taking McGinn from a mining family in West Hartlepool to New York as Rutgers Professor of Philosophy.
Born in West Hartlepool and educated in Manchester and Oxford, Colin McGinn is professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University. He is also an accomplished drummer.
