  • Written by one of the world’s leading philosophers, the co-author of the monumental 4 volume Analytical Commentary on the Philosophical Investigations (Blackwell Publishing, 1980-2004)

  • Uses broad categories, such as substance, causation, agency and power to examine how we think about ourselves and our nature

  • Platonic and Aristotelian conceptions of human nature are sketched and contrasted
