Reseña del editor:

Philosopher Mary Warnock reflects on some of the people who have influenced or intrigued her throughout her career at Oxford and Cambridge and as chair of various high-profile committees. She describes the heyday years of her career in the 50s and 60s when the philosophy faculty at Oxford University flourished, boasting such luminaries as Gilbert Ryle, J.L. Austin, Isaiah Berlin, Iris Murdoch and Peter Strawson. In an intelligent and engaging memoir, Mary Warnock offers a highly personal view of an important period in 20th-century history.
