Selected Philosophical Writings

by John Macmurray, Esther McIntosh (Editor)

Macmurray's overriding concern is to present and adequate account of the person, but his work also addresses concerns in education, art and science, which all stem from his understanding of human agency. This leads him into a discussion of the ethics of personal and political relations and a critique of otherworldly religion.
