Zusatztext full as it is of provocative suggestions and ingenious and subtle arguments, it is one to learn from and to relish. It is a book no serious student of Hume can afford to ignore. Informationen zum Autor Galen Strawson is Professor of Philosophy at Reading University. Prior to that he was Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Jesus College, Oxford (1987-2000). From 2004 to 2007 he was also Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at CUNY Graduate Center in New York. He has held visiting positions at the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University (1993), New York University (1997), Rutgers University (2000), and MIT (2010). Strawson received his degrees from the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, and studied at the Ecole normale supérieure and the Sorbonne in Paris (1977-1998). Klappentext The Evident Connexion presents a bold new reading of David Hume's famous 'bundle' theory of the self or mind, and his later rejection of it. Galen Strawson illuminates the 'uniting principle' of Hume's philosophy and argues that the bundle theory does not, as widely supposed, claim that there are no subjects of experience.
