Review on: The Essential Mary Midgley / edited by D. Midgley. London; New York: Routledge, 2005. 424 p.; ISBN-13: 978-0415346429

Abstract

Mary Midgley's philosophical legacy is very versatile and is included in the corpus of the most important texts of English-language philosophy of the second half of the 20th century. This period was marked by an intense revival of philosophical interest in classical metaphysics and ethics, accompanied by a simultaneous disillusionment with modern ideals of autonomous reason and morality. The peer-reviewed edition contains essays and articles of a philosopher whose vision of reality, rooted in the unshakable and great principles of metaphysics, allows you to penetrate to the essence of things and processes.
