Thought and Action

by Stuart Hampshire

In this extremely important book, the distinguished Oxford philosopher offers a new approach to moral philosophy and to the problem of the freedom of the will. His argument involved a re-consideratons of the philosophy of mind, and an inquiry into the relation between knowledge and action. Some of the implications of the argument, in the fields of aesthetics and political theory, are also considered. Thought and Action will prove valuable reading in restating and clarifying issues which have been complicated by recent philosophical developments.
