    Inventing America. [REVIEW]J. R. A. - 1979 - Review of Metaphysics 32 (3):573-574.
    A major new interpretation of the Declaration of Independence and of the philosophical background of Thomas Jefferson at the time of its composition. Garry Wills attempts to reconstruct the intellectual atmosphere in the 18th century, and by attending to Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration in comparison with the revised draft adopted by Congress, he seeks to show that Jefferson was deeply influenced in his thought and phrasing not by John Locke, as the standing interpretation of Carl Becker holds, but by (...)

    Insight, A Study of Human Understanding. [REVIEW]J. R. A. - 1958 - Review of Metaphysics 11 (3):516-516.
    Father Lonergan, Professor at the Gregorian University in Rome, writes from the conviction that by thoroughly understanding what it is to understand, one will understand the structure of all that is and can be understood. Focussing on insight, the very essence of understanding, Father Lonergan examines illustrations of insight in mathematics, science, common sense, etc., in order to bring the reader to an insight into insight. The sometimes annoyingly prolix discussion is intended to enable the reader to grasp within his (...)

    Logic: A Dialogue. [REVIEW]J. A. - 1965 - Review of Metaphysics 18 (3):581-582.
    This very witty work, intended as an introductory text in logic, takes the form of a dialogue between teacher Penny and student Nickel, the dialogue illustrating Bierman's conception of the way to teach logic. But the book is perhaps of more value for its contributions to the philosophy of language, many of them admittedly "unfamiliar and unconventional." Among them: ascription of linguistic functions to physical objects with a consequent reduction of "referential" semantics to syntax; and the beginnings of a "calculus (...)

    Rimbaud. [REVIEW]J. S. A. - 1958 - Review of Metaphysics 11 (4):692-692.
    The major periods of Rimbaud's life are seen as parts of a whole, united by the theme of a necessary and hopeless struggle for an impossible adequacy--as man, as poet, as trader. Hackett effectively presents the case that Rimbaud is the greatest French poet after Baudelaire.--A. J. S.

    Reason and Belief. [REVIEW]J. R. A. - 1978 - Review of Metaphysics 32 (1):127-128.
    The final volume in Blanshard’s trilogy in defense of reason. While the two earlier volumes, Reason and Analysis and Reason and Goodness, are devoted to the roles of reason in knowledge and morality, respectively, Reason and Belief focuses on reason in regard to religion, confined, however, to Christianity. Blanshard’s method is primarily critical; the bulk of his writings consists of the critique and demolition of views on reason, reality, and values which differ from his own. On the constructive side, Blanshard’s (...)

    Richard Price and the Ethical Foundations of the American Revolution; Selections from his pamphlets, with appendices. [REVIEW]J. R. A. - 1979 - Review of Metaphysics 33 (1):195-196.
    Richard Price is remembered mainly for his work in moral philosophy, A Review of the Principal Questions and Difficulties in Morals. He also wrote widely and effectively on the political and economic problems of his time; he contributed with rare distinction to the polemical pamphlet literature which surrounded the America revolution. He was devoted to the American cause, and he analyzed and attacked British policies not only on grounds of utility but also in consideration of rationally apprehended natural rights. In (...)

    The Philosophy of the American Revolution. [REVIEW]J. R. A. - 1979 - Review of Metaphysics 32 (3):572-573.
    An outgrowth of the Bicentennial. White examines the metaphysics, epistemology, and moral philosophy which influenced American revolutionary thought. Focusing on the doctrines of self-evident truth and natural law expressed in the Declaration of Independence, he elucidates them by erudite explications and critical analyses of such 17th and 18th century thinkers as John Locke, Francis Hutcheson, and Jean Jacques Burlamaqui. Traditional interpretations, best represented by Carl Becker’s The Declaration of Independence, have stressed the role of Locke. More recently, intellectual historians have (...)

    Tulane Studies in Philosophy, Vol. VI, Studies in Ethics. [REVIEW]J. S. A. - 1958 - Review of Metaphysics 11 (4):698-698.
    This book is composed of seven essays on diverse ethical themes. C. H. Hamburg's essay on the task of the contemporary psychoanalyst in giving criteria for judging psychic health, Louise Roberts' discussion of "better" as a primitive ethical term, and R. C. Whittmore's "Does the Neo-intuitionist theory of obligation rest on a mistake?" are the most valuable.--A. J. S.
