4.0 out of 5 stars still worth reading, March 5, 2005
This review is from: Thought and Action (Paperback)
Stuart Hampshire passed away recently, so it is very fitting to ask whether his books are still worth reading. This book is his best known one and I think it is stil worth reading it after many years of its publication. Some important themes are raised in this book, for example, the contrasts practical knowledge/theoretical knowledge, decision/prediction, the freedom of mind, etc. Especially I highly recommend this book to any one who is interested in the philosophy of action and the nature of intention.

One defect of this book is that too many seemingly disparate subjects are dealt with somewhat summarily. Nevertheless I believe you will get some important "clues" in this book and can develope it yourself.
