Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Organisation is this book's strong suit. Arranged around eight central concepts - mind, knowledge, language, science, morality, politics, law and metaphysics - this is as clear a horizon as anyone making le tour could wish. (Times Higher Education Supplement)

For a lay reader setting out to navigate the depths of contemporary philosophy, it would be hard to find a better guide than Kwame Anthony Appiah ... a sophisticated and lucid guide to philosophy as it is currently studied in American universities ... Mr Appiah succeeds in letting the difficulties of the subject present themselves clearly. (Adam Kirsch, The Sun, New York)
