It is many years since a major work in English has ranged so widely over philosophy's fundamental concerns: the identity of the self, knowledge and scepticism, free will, the question of why there is something rather than nothing, the foundations of ethics, the meaning of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWriting in a distinctive and personal philosophical voice, Mr. Nozick presents a new mode of philosophising. In place of the usual semi-coercive philosophical goals of proof, of forcing people to accept conclusions, this book seeks philosophical explanations and understanding, and thereby stays truer to the original motivations for being interested in philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining new concepts, daring hypotheses, rigorous reasoning, and playful exploration, \u003cem\u003ePhilosophical Explanations\u003c\/em\u003e exemplifies how philosophy can be part of the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603074040044,"sku":"9780674664791","price":116.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674664791-philosophical-explanations.jpg?v=1778054920","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/philosophical-explanations-by-robert-nozick-9780674664791","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
