Recenzii

"This is vintage Dilman. This book could give a new vitality to an unexploited genre: philosophical criticism. Of course, philosophers have always critiqued other philosophers, but a volume of systematic criticism by a single philosopher of various philosophical works is rare. The particular strength of this volume is that it provides a concentrated and textured expression of the author's own philosophical stance, while at the same time offering new scrutiny of the philosophers evaluated. Dilman invariably shakes the reader out of any complacent reading of Dennett, Searle, Foot, Davidson and Nozick, sometimes to the point of prompting a radical questioning of their current status." -- Daniele Moyal-Sharrock, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Hertfordshire, UK
"Ilham Dilman's last book of essays, written when he was dying, is, like all his works, honest, sincere, and written with luminous clarity. When he learnt that he had terminal cancer, he selected five books by five leading philosophers of the day, read them carefully and wrote critical essays about them. Philosophy, Dilman held, is above all, criticism. This is patent in these essays on Dennett, Searle, Foot, Davidson and Nozick. Each essay consists in a meticulous outline of the salient claims of the book under consideration, followed by critical observations. Dilman's final reflections are often profound, sometimes very touching, and always worth reading. His voice will be missed." -- Peter Hacker, Emeritus Research Fellow, St John's College, University of Oxford
