Recenzii
These essays show Sandis at his wide-ranging best. Homer and Anthony Powell rub shoulders with Hegel and Davidson in a series of imaginative and thought-provoking discussions of practical reason, action and ethics.
This excellent collection brings together Constantine Sandis' recent works on responsibility for action. It presses the claim that to understand this complex issue, ethics and action theory should be recognized as complementary. This compelling claim builds upon an impressively eclectic history of ideas, from the Bhagavad Gita and Sophocles to Freud, G.E.M. Anscombe, and Paul Ricoeur. A must-read.
A highly original collection with illuminating reflections from literature, Greek religion, and from an unusually wide range of writing on morals and psychology. Anscombe's Intention is recast, in relation both to her predecessors and to current work. A book for any philosopher interested in action or in ethics.
Quietly radical, this collection provides a synoptic introduction to the field and multi-directional illuminations for its future. Sandis has a keen pluralism, a fine sensitivity to the history of philosophy, and an instinct for what's interesting.
