Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays - Grand Format

At the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, Freedom and Resentment collects some of Strawson's most important work. Broadly conceived as analytical philosophy, the essays in this collection demonstrate the vitality of Strawson's thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics.
Beginning with the title essay, Freedom and Resentment, which has been called the most influential philosophical article of the twentieth century, this invaluable collection demonstrates the great range of Strawson's thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Paul Snowdon and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson, which together form an excellent introduction to his life and work.
