Collected Papers
Many of McDowell's papers are collected in four volumes:
- Mind, Value, and Reality (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1998)
- Meaning, Knowledge, and Reality (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1998)
- Having the World in View: Essays on Kant, Hegel, and Sellars (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2009)
- The Engaged Intellect: Philosophical Essays (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2009)
In 1991 he gave the John Locke Lectures at Oxford. A revised version of these lectures was published as Mind and World (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1994; reissued with a new introduction, 1996). It is an influential but difficult work that provides a controversial account of empirical justification for beliefs, covering some of the same ground as Hegel's critique of Kant but informed by a deep sensitivity to contemporary modes of scientific naturalism.

“Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
