New Anthology on Peter F. Strawson

Object and Concept are at the center of Peter F. Strawson's philosophy: What do we refer to in our ordinary thinking and speaking and under what conditions is such reference possible? The question how we can conceptually grasp the world is related to a series of problems in different areas of philosophy such as metaphysics and ontology, epistemology, logic and philosophy of language. All papers in "P.F. Strawson - Ding und Begriff / Object and Concept" (Ontos), edited by Sarah-Jane Conrad and Silvan Imhof, deal with one or the other of these aspects. In their systematic approach to Strawson's main topics they detect a number of weaknesses and yet reveal some possible remedies, thereby embedding Strawson's philosophy in ongoing debates.
