”Mac Cumhaill och Wiseman är helt klart överlägsna stilister. Deras bildrika, berättande prosa slungar läsaren rakt in i händelseförloppet”Expressen

"Fenomenalt välskrivet bok om fyra vänner som bröt filosofins barriärer"UNTAndra världskriget rasar, och på filosofiska institutionen i Oxford har många av de manliga studenterna och lärarna försvunnit. Fram träder då fyra kvinnliga forskare som delar inte bara skor, soffor och älskare utan framför allt idéer. Tillsammans förnyar de det filosofiska tänkandet och tar debatten med berömdheterna. Möt deras äventyrliga liv och deras inspirerande tankar om frihet, verklighet och godhet i denna flerfaldigt prisnominerade kollektivbiografi – naturligtvis skriven av två filosofer och vänner.

”Att läsa den här boken är en påminnelse om att ens inre liv kan vara lika äventyrligt och händelserik som våra vänskapsrelationer” Guardian ”Oemotståndlig och tankeväckande” London Review of Books

Most research on perception has focused on the perceptual experience of three-dimensional, solid, bounded, and coherent material objects - items like tables and tomatoes. But as well as having perceptual experience of such objects, we also experience such aspects of the world as, for instance, rainbows and surfaces, shadows and absences: things that are ephemeral by contrast with material objects. This book presents fifteen new essays on the perceptual experience ofsuch ephemera. The editors'' introduction provides a detailed guide to the topic as a whole, setting out the thematic background to this emerging area of research in contemporary philosophy of perception. The volume winds a path through the ephemeral, considering such topics as sounds, smells,transparency, reflection, camouflage, solidity, and ambient vision. A general aim of the volume is to make a case that the broad range of ephemera it catalogues is far from marginal, or insubstantial with respect to their philosophical interest and value. Philosophical attention to perceptul ephemera may well suggest novel routes to arriving at a more developed understanding of perceptual experience at large and its characteristic features.

Brought to you by Penguin.''In philosophy, one must start from scratch - & it takes a very long time to reach scratch''Iris Murdoch, Mary Midgley, Philippa Foot and Elizabeth Anscombe were philosophy students at Oxford during the Second World War when most male undergraduates (and many tutors) were conscripted. Taught by refugee scholars, women and conscientious objectors, the four friends developed a philosophy that could respond to the war''s darkest revelations.When images of the concentration camps emerged, Foot wrote: ''We had thought something like this could not happen.'' And when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, Anscombe saw a terrifying new possibility: by signing his name at the foot of an order, US President Harry Truman had been able to act on so vast a scale as to end the war by killing hundreds of thousands. How, they asked, do we find our way through the darkness of what we have created? Not even the great thinkers of the past or the logical innovators and Existentialists of the early twentieth century could make sense of this new human reality. So, in search of an answer, the four friends set out to bring philosophy back to life.What is freedom? What is real? What is human goodness? As creatures who use language - as human animals - it is in our nature to ask these questions. We are metaphysical animals. And the answers we give shape what we will become.Written with expertise and flair, Metaphysical Animals is a vivid blend of philosophy and recovered history - bringing back the women who shared ideas, as well as sofas, shoes and even lovers. Clare Mac Cumhaill and Rachael Wiseman show how from the disorder and despair of the war, four brilliant friends brought philosophy back to life and created a way of ethical thinking that is there for us today.© Clare Mac Cumhaill & Rachael Wiseman 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
