Reason in Nature: New Essays on Themes from John McDowell by Matthew Boyle (Engl

Description: Reason in Nature by Matthew Boyle, Dr. Evgenia Mylonaki Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Against the dominant view of reductive naturalism, John McDowell argues that human life should be seen as transformed by reason so that human minds, while not supernatural, are sui generis. This collection assembles eleven critical essays that highlight the enduring significance and wide ramifications of McDowells unorthodox position. Publisher Description A group of distinguished philosophers reflect on John McDowells arguments for nonreductive naturalism, an approach that can explain what is special about human reason without implying that it is in any sense supernatural.John McDowell is one of the English-speaking worlds most influential living philosophers, whose work has shaped debates in mind, language, metaphysics, epistemology, meta-ethics, and the history of philosophy. A common thread running through McDowells diverse contributions has been his critique of a form of reductive naturalism according to which human minds must be governed by laws essentially similar to those that govern the rest of nature. Against this widely accepted view, McDowell maintains that human minds should be seen as "transformed" by reason in such a way that the principles governing our minds, while not supernatural, are in an important sense sui generis.Editors Matthew Boyle and Evgenia Mylonaki assemble a group of distinguished philosophers to clarify and criticize McDowells core position and explore its repercussions for contemporary debates about metaphysics and epistemology, perception, language, action, and value. The essays here scrutinize the core idea that human reason constitutes a second nature, emerging from humanitys basic animal nature, and reflect on the underpinnings of McDowells claims in Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel. Many of the contributors extend McDowells views beyond his own articulations, elaborating the transformative role that reason plays in human experience.In clarifying and expanding McDowells insights, Reason in Nature challenges contemporary orthodoxy, much as McDowell himself has. And, as this collection makes clear, McDowells unorthodox position is of enduring importance and has wide-ranging implications, still not fully appreciated, for ongoing philosophical debates.
