Causation (Oxford Readings in Philosophy)1 review

Oxford University Press, USA, 1993

Impressive Collection

A bunch of papers on what causation may be. All of them still worth reading or on the edge of philosophical debate. The quickest head start available on the topic. Well, I liked least the articles of the editors, but that may be subjective ...

Plato

An excellent work...

Colin Mcginn

Harper Perennial, 2003

The making of McGinn

+ Brief, interesting, insightful
+ A New Genus for Philosophy

I learned about McGinn via the work of Jerry Fodor. "The Making of a Philosopher" was the first book I read from him. This book is a rather good portrait of the intellectual development of a person.
