Description

In this academic work, Frank Jackson defends the role of conceptual analysis as a primary tool for philosophical inquiry. Jackson addresses the growing trend where conceptual analysis is undervalued or misunderstood in modern thought. He argues that these misunderstandings create unnecessary mystery, which stops important philosophical questions from being answered effectively. To build his case, Jackson uses specific philosophical topics to demonstrate the utility of his method. The book moves through a range of complex subjects, beginning with the metaphysical doctrine of physicalism. From there, the text examines free will, meaning, personal identity, motion, and change. The discussion extends into ethics and the philosophy of color, providing a comprehensive look at how analytical methods apply to different branches of philosophy. This book is a significant resource for students and scholars interested in the history and schools of thought within Western philosophy.
