| John McDowells Mind and World
( Die 14 Essays (Cripin Wright schrieb zwei) zeigen viele Blickwinkel auf Mind and World. Sie lassen den Vergleich der eigenen Auffassung mit der der folgenden Autoren zu: Richard J. Bernstein, Michael Friedman, Robert B. Pippin, Barry Stroud, Robert Brandom,Charles Taylor, Gregory McCulloch, Crispin Wright, Hilary Putnam,Charles Larmore, Rüdiger Bubner, Jay M. Bernstein, Axel Honneth. Selbstverständlich sind all diese Aufsätze von hoher Qualität und oftmals zustimmend, manchmal kritisch. Man möchte anschließend Mind and World nochmals lesen. Im letzten Abschnitt von Reading McDowell antwortet McDowell auf die Beiträge im Buch. Für mich waren die Ausführungen von Barry Stroud und Crispin Wright am erhellendsten. Jeder, der sich für das Verhältnis von Geist zur Welt interessiert und Mind and World gelesen hat, sollte auch zu Reading McDowell greifen. |
| Review in English John McDowell's Mind and World is a truly illuminating work as anyone will agree who has read it or followed the intense debate the book has aroused ever since it hit the market in 1994. A discussion this thorough is an indication that the subject the book deals with is highly complex. To understand it better you may have to read it twice or even more often, attend a few seminars,or study Reading McDowell, edited by Nicholas H. Smith. This will help you gain more insights into McDowell's thoughts.The fourteen essays (Crispin Wright has contributed two) cover many facets of Mind and World and put them into very different perspectives. They let you compare your interpretation with the points of view of these philosophers: Richard J. Bernstein, Michael Friedman, Robert B. Pippin, Barry Stroud, Robert Brandom,Charles Taylor, Gregory McCulloch, Crispin Wright, Hilary Putnam,Charles Larmore, Rüdiger Bubner, Jay M. Bernstein, Axel Honneth. All these essays are of high quality and sometimes critical. This induces the reader of Reading McDowell to reread Mind and World once more. In the last part, John McDowell responds to all the essays. Maybe it is not fair to highlight any of the contributions over others, but I found the ones by Barry Stroud and Crispin Wright the most helpful. I recommend Reading McDowell highly for everyone interested in epistemology and the philosophy of mind. |
