John McDowell's philosophical ideas are both influential and
comprehensive, encompassing philosophy of mind, philosophy of
language, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics and the history of
philosophy. This book is a much-needed systematic overview of
McDowell's thought that offers a clear and accessible route through
the main elements of his philosophy.
Arguing that the world and minded human subject are constitutively
interdependent, the book examines and critically engages with
McDowell's views on naturalism of second nature, the inner space
model, intentionality, personhood and practical wisdom. The book
presents novel discussions on the debates between McDowell and other
key philosophers, including Hubert Dreyfus, Robert Brandom, Hans-Georg
Gadamer, Donald Davidson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Immanuel Kant,
amongst others.
Demonstrating a thorough understanding of McDowell's work, Tony Cheng
makes connections to both the phenomenological tradition and cognitive
sciences to show the wider relevance of McDowell's philosophy. In
doing so, he sheds light on how influential McDowell's thought is to
the analytic tradition.
