Featuring essays from leading philosophical scholars, 12 Modern Philosophers explores the works, origins, and influences of twelve of the most important late 20th Century philosophers working in the analytic tradition.
- Draws on essays from well-known scholars, including Thomas Baldwin, Catherine Wilson, Adrian Moore and Lori Gruen
- Locates the authors and their oeuvre within the context of the discipline as a whole
- Considers how contemporary philosophy both draws from, and contributes to, the broader intellectual and cultural milieu
