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.

Famous quotes containing the words collected and/or papers:

    I didn’t realize you were an art collector. I thought you just collected corpses. I’ll bet you paid plenty for this little piece of sculpture. She’s worth every dollar of it, take it from me. She puts her heart into her work, in fact, her whole body.
    Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    I see by the papers that you have once more stirred that pool of intellectual stagnation, the educational convention.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
