This volume, selected and edited by philosopher P. F. Strawson, gathers ten influential lectures delivered to the British Academy over the previous decade, presenting a cross-section of mid-20th century English philosophy. Contributors include Gilbert Ryle, A. J. Ayer, Stuart Hampshire, Bernard Williams, David Pears, and Strawson himself, addressing topics ranging from the philosophy of mind to ethics, action, decision, and freedom.The collection illustrates the richness of analytic philosophy in postwar Britain, tracing its intersections with logic, metaphysics, and moral theory. Essays by C. Lewy, G. E. L. Owen, and G. J. Warnock provide historical depth, while P. T. Geach’s lecture represents a contrasting strand of English philosophy rooted in logic and ontology.
A significant document of 20th-century thought, Studies in the Philosophy of Thought and Action remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy.
