Summary: P. F. Strawson here presents a selection of his shorter writings from the 1970s to the 1990s, in the two areas of philosophy to which he has contributed most notably: philosophy of language and Kantian studies. One of these essays is published here for the first time, and one for the first time in English; several others have been difficult to find. A new introduction offers an overview of the essays, their topics, and their interrelations. This book represents some of the most fascinating work of one of the great philosophers of the late twentieth century. 'A fine collection of essays, to be recommended.' The Philosopher.
