John McDowell - Collected Papers

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.
