SKORUPSKI, J., Being and Freedom. On Late Modern Ethics in Europe. Oxford University Press, 2021. 560p. Hardback. This is more than a work of intellectual history; Skorupski's discussion is critical, and he applies some of the lessons from this period to contemporary issues in ethics and metaethics.

SKORUPSKI, J., Being and Freedom. Oxford University Press, 2024. 560p. Paperback. Being and Freedom is as much a consideration of European moral thought in the age of the rise of mass democracy and the age of a crisis in Christianity as it is an examination of what 'late modern' philosophers have to say about normativity and reasons. It is a remarkable achievement. James Harris, Philosophical Quarterly (Publisher's information). € 40.76 (New)

SKOW, B., Objective Becoming. Oxford University Press, 2015. 262p. Hardback. Overall, this is a terrific book. It is thorough, argumentative, philosophically sophisticated, scientifically informed, rigorous, and creative. Skow has done more than anyone to elucidate and critique the moving spotlight view, and in the end I think he comes to the right conclusions. Anybody who pays this book serious attention will be rewarded with deep insight into most of the major issues in the philosophy of time. Perhaps most impressively, Skow manages to provide his reader with a good introduction to the issues at hand while developing advanced arguments that push the state of the debate forward in interesting and fruitful directions. This is an impressive work that deserves to be widely read. M. Joshua Mozersky, Metascience |a 25/01/16 (Publisher's information). € 105.98 (New) (MD)
