Reason and Goodness. - BLANSHARD, B,
KORTE INHOUD
'This challenging work (?) based on Gifford Lectures delivered at St Andrews in 1952 and 1953, may well bring about a change of direction in much ethical thinking. Both in matter and in manner it runs completely counter to the fashions that have prevailed (?) since the positivist-linguistic 'revolution'. (?) Blanshard works towards his own constructive position (?) by a species of historical dialectic; and in the later stages of this the most distinctive contemporary theories are subjected to an examination so searching that, in my opinion, it ought to induce some agonizing reappraisals. It is not so much that his criticism are, for the most part, startling novel. But they are here marshalled on so comprehensive a scale, and are deployed with such mastery, and are so lucidly stated, that, even the least friendly reader can hardly fail to be impressed.' (C.A. CAMPBELL in Philosophy, 141, 1962, p.263). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
