Free will
In this attempt to deal with the problem of free will Tallis identifies intentionality as a feature of our lives that cannot be explained by deterministic, natural, physical, causal laws. Our ability to think about the world, and not merely be objects subject to it, gives us room for manoeuvre for free thought and action. Science, far from being antagonistic to the possibility of free will as it is usually presented through its deterministic expl…
A Companion to Nineteenth‐Century Philosophy
Investigate the challenging and nuanced philosophy of the long nineteenth century from Kant to Bergson Philosophy in the nineteenth century was characterized by new ways of thinking, a desperate searching for new truths. As science, art, and religion were transformed by social pressures and changing worldviews, old certainties fell away, leaving many with a terrifying sense of loss and a realization that our view of things needed to be profoundly…

A Meaningful life
There can be no such thing as the meaningful life, but only a meaningful life for a particular life as it is lived. Thus, there are meaningful lives, which are lives that make sense and are sufficiently aligned, these two characteristics being honed successively by the limits of a particular contingent form of life, a particular individual of that form of life, and a particular time in the life of that individual. Only the form of a meaningful li…

John Locke
John Locke (1632–1704) was a man of wide intellectual interests. During the last 15 years of his life he published a series of books on a range of subjects that included politics, religion, economics and education, but in general philosophy all his energy was devoted to a single project. The Essay concerning Human Understanding, first published in 1690, is by far the most important of Locke's philosophical works. Four editions appeared during his…
Thomas Hobbes
Hobbes's most important philosophical work in English was undoubtedly Leviathan, which was published right in the middle of the seventeenth century, in 1651. It is too often regarded as a work of political philosophy only, when any serious attention to its texts shows it to be much more than that, containing as it does elements drawn from Hobbes's wider account of human beings and the world, which is his whole philosophical system. In that sense …
Ludwig Wittgenstein
In this chapter I want to suggest an approach to Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations that I believe will make this profound book more accessible to readers not already familiar with it. The Investigations is considered Wittgenstein's second masterpiece; it was published posthumously in 1953 many years after the appearance of his first masterpiece, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Whereas the Tractatus was the force behind the development o…
