{"product_id":"the-definition-of-the-thing-john-william-miller-9780393300598","title":"The Definition of the Thing: With Some Notes on Language","description":"A classic volume by a noted philosopher, available again. John William Miller (1895-1978) taught at Williams College, where from 1945 to 1960 he was Mark Hopkins Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy. His extraordinary teaching is described in \u003cem\u003eMasters: Portraits of Great Teachers\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Joseph Epstein. While deeply indebted to Plato, Kant, and Hegel, Miller arrived at a strikingly original reinterpretation of the history of philosophy, which, he believed, resolved long-standing epistemological and moral problems generated by that history. In \u003cem\u003eThe Definition of the Thing\u003c\/em\u003e, an unusually provocative and original essay, Miller had works out a number of the basic contentions of his mature philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John William Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393300595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393300598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
