Books by Stephen (Blackfriars Hall Priest

The Subject in Question provides a fascinating insight into a debate between two of the most famous contemporary philosophers - Jean-Paul Satre and Edmund Husserl - over key notions of conscious experience and the self.

An introduction to the British Empiricists which traces the development of the movement from Hobbes, through Locke, Berkely and Hume, and extends the study to Mill, Russell and Ayer. This book includes an introductory chapter that examines what Empiricism is, placing the rest of the book in context.

In this wide-ranging and penetrative study, Stephen Priest uses clear and direct language to explain the thoughts and ensuing importance of one of the greatest contemporary thinkers.
