Description
Book SynopsisA collection of twelve of Anthony Flew's most significant works with a biographical introduction to the author. The book also contains a number of rare works which have not been widely published before.
Trade ReviewIn the opening essay, comissioned for this volume, Flew traces the lineage and significance of Oxford Linguistic Philosophy and in a concluding afterward, titled A Philosopher's Apology, Flew waxes autobiographical in his trademark style. This selection of essays conveys the power of Flew's writtings. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners. -- D. Geivett, Biola University * CHOICE *
