Having the World in View

“McDowell offers provocative and illuminating accounts of [Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, and Hegel] and other philosophers, and their relationship to the philosophical tradition.”—John Schwenkler, Commonweal

“The volume offers a sample of philosophical work of the finest quality.”—Stelios Virvidakis, Teorema

“As rich in ideas as philosophy today ever is. I know of no contemporary philosopher whose work repays as handsomely careful and repeated study, no philosopher more likely to shed original and yet fundamentally revealing light on a difficult subject, no philosopher whose ‘philosophical ear’ or ‘philosophical sense’ is more worthy of respect.”—Tim Thornton, The Philosophers’ Magazine
