Publisher Synopsis
""Frank Jackson is one of the greatest living analytic philosophers, and this fine selection of his major papers vividly illustrates the breadth and depth of his work, ranging from the semantics of conditionals, through three basic issues in the philosophy of mind and "another three in ethics, and the methods of metaphysics, to his definitive treatment of the new riddle of induction. No one in modern philosophy writes better or more profoundly about the hardest topics in our subject; and no one who wants to know how to do it could do better than read, "mark, learn and inwardly digest the contents of this book."<br>-D.H. Mellor, Cambridge University <br> Read more...
