{"product_id":"9781400848393","title":"Essays and Reviews: 1959-2002","description":"\u003cp\u003eBernard Williams was one of the most important philosophers of the past fifty years, but he was also a distinguished critic and essayist with an elegant style and a rare ability to communicate complex ideas to a wide public. This is the first collection of Williams's popular essays and reviews. Williams writes about a broad range of subjects, from philosophy to science, the humanities, economics, feminism, and pornography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are reviews of major books such as John Rawls’s \u003ci\u003eTheory of Justice, Richard Rorty’s Consequences of Pragmatism,\u003c\/i\u003e and Martha Nussbaum’s \u003ci\u003eTherapy of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e. But many of these essays extend beyond philosophy, providing an intellectual tour through the past half century, from C. S. Lewis to Noam Chomsky. No matter the subject, readers see a first-class mind grappling with landmark books in \"real time,\" before critical consensus had formed and ossified.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137746321648,"sku":"9781400848393","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400848393_p0.jpg?v=1763712757","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400848393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
