This is the first collection of Williams's popular essays and reviews. Williams writes about a broad range of subjects, from philosophy to science, the humanities, economics, feminism, and pornography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded are reviews of major books such as John Rawls's \u003ci\u003eTheory of Justice, Richard Rorty's Consequences of Pragmatism, \u003c\/i\u003e and Martha Nussbaum's \u003ci\u003eTherapy of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e. But many of these essays extend beyond philosophy, providing an intellectual tour through the past half century, from C. S. Lewis to Noam Chomsky. No matter the subject, readers see a first-class mind grappling with landmark books in \"real time,\" before critical consensus had formed and ossified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691168601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691168609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Bernard Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946953605375,"sku":"9780691168609","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_42188355-2292-4792-8a9f-b1c99b6b4134.jpg?v=1681515884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/essays-and-reviews-bernard-williams-9780691168609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
