The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Philosophy Edited by Frank Jackson, Michael Smith The Oxford handbook of Contemporary Philosophy is the definitive guide of what's going on in this lively and fascinating subject. Jackson and Smith, themselves two of the world's most eminent philosophers, have assembled more than thirty distinguished scholars to contribute incisive and up-to-date critical surveys of the principal areas of research. The coverage is broad, with sections devoted to moral philosophy, social and political philosophy, philosophy of mind and action, philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of the sciences. This Handbook will be a rich source of insight and stimulation for philosophers, students of philosophy, and for people working in other disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, and sciences who are interested in the state of philosophy today. Frank Jackson is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, and Director of the Research School of Social Sciences, at the Australian National University. Michael Smith is Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University.
