MACBRIDE, F., On the Genealogy of Universals. The Metaphysical Origins of Analytic Philosophy. Oxford University Press, 2018. 272p. Hardback. Contemporary metaphysicians, whether they are aware of it or not, whether they credit their predecessors or not, frequently end up importing very problematic assumptions from historical debates previously enacted. Unless such assumptions are properly explored and questioned, we cannot feel confident that we are making any genuine progress in contemporary metaphysics rather than just repeating the same mistakes of our philosophical forebears. It is within this context that I find the work of historically minded philosophers to be particularly important. One such philosopher is Fraser MacBride.... an untold and surprising history of how the categories of particulars and universals have been understood in the history of early analytic philosophy Katarina Perovic, Analysis Reviews |a 17/03/2020 (Publisher's information). € 101.91 (New) (MD)

RIST, J. M., On the Independence of Matthew and Mark. Cambridge University Press, 2005. 144p. Paperback. Series: Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, 32. It has for long been generally assumed that the relationship between our canonical texts of the Gospels of Mark and Matthew is to be explained in terms of direct literary dependence, either of Matthew on Mark, or of Mark on Matthew. Professor Rist questions this assumption vigourously, and argues that it leads to contradictory and paradoxical conclusions. He replaces the theory of literary dependence with the thesis that Matthew and Mark grew up independently on the basis of a common oral tradition, and supports his view by detailed examination of a large number of parallel passages. The clarity and cogency of the author's argument is in the best tradition of this important series of monographs. In the context of the current resurgence of interest in the Synoptic problem, it will be welcomed by all concerned with the study of the New Testament. (Publisher's information). € 35.18 (New) (MD)

GALE, R. M., On the Nature and Existence of God: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2016. 346p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Philosophy Classics. First published in 1991, Richard M. Gale's classic book is a response to and critique of new, contemporary arguments for the existence of God from analytical philosophers. Considering concepts including time, free will, personhood, actuality and the objectivity of experience, Gale evaluates the new versions of cosmological, ontological, pragmatic and religious experience arguments that emerged in the late-twentieth century. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Paul K. Moser, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this influential work has been revived for a new generation of readers.
