{"product_id":"reason-at-work-jim-thornton-9780473471804","title":"Reason at Work: philosophical papers","description":"\u003cp\u003eJim Thornton taught philosophy at the University of Canterbury from 1961, when he joined the Department of Philosophy as an assistant lecturer, until his retirement as a senior lecturer in 1988 from the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. Jim started his academic career as a student of theology, becoming an ordained Anglican minister in 1954. His philosophical studies had a profound influence on his subsequent career, leading him to abandon both his Christian beliefs and his clerical role. A superb account of this abandonment is contained in 'A Sceptic's Tale', the final chapter of this collection of Jim's philosophical papers. Jim was one of those academics, increasingly rare, who devote their main efforts to teaching rather than research, and there is no doubt that he excelled as a teacher of moral philosophy and the philosophy of religion. His publications, collected in this volume, are few in number but outstanding in content. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Thornton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0473471809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473471804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diamond Harbour Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.49d","brand":"Jim Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520274579711,"sku":"9780473471804","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_876dd251-0424-422b-b540-d4a3ec0bea70.jpg?v=1762884604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reason-at-work-jim-thornton-9780473471804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
