| Abstract |
This volume presents twenty-two uncollected philosophical essays by Sir Peter Strawson, one of the leading philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. The essays (two of them previously unpublished) are drawn from seven decades of work, from 1949 to 2003. They span the broad range of Strawson's work: metaphysics, epistemology, philosophical logic, philosophy of language, ethical theory, and history of philosophy, along with metaphilosophical reflections and
intellectual autobiography.

‘The Post-Linguistic Thaw’1
This chapter explores the linguistic movement, which created an atmosphere of particular and informal clarities that caused genuine bafflement and uneasiness in many whose conception of philosophy was more elevated than definite. What was clear seemed obscure to those whose unconscious dem... see more
Two Conceptions of Philosophy
This chapter begins by providing a bare outline or sketch of a conception of a strictly scientific philosophy — an outline which conveys little sense of the mastery with which, by Quine, the programme has been carried out. It then presents, by way of contrast, an alternative conception of ... see more
What Have We Learned from Philosophy in the Twentieth Century?

The first is blunt enough: ‘What's the use of it?’ The second is, or seems, a bit more sophisticated: viz. ‘Why is it that, un... see more
