Galen Strawson holds the President's Chair of Philosophy at the
University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of Freedom and
Belief (Oxford, 1986, 2nd edition 2010); The Secret Connexion:
Causation, Realism, and David Hume (Oxford 1989, 2nd edition 2014);
Mental Reality (MIT Press 1994, 2nd edition 2009), Selves: An Essay
in Revisionary Metaphysics (2009, revised edition 2011); Locke on
personal identity: Consciousness and
Concernment (2011, 2nd edition 2014); and The Evident Connexion:
Hume on personal identity (2011, 2nd edition 2014).
[M]y summary certainly does fail to convey both the extraordinary
richness (and density) of Strawson's discussion and the care he
takes in expounding and clarifying his views. Reading these essays
is an exciting, provoking and frequently educational experience.
... [These remarks] attest to how stimulating and enjoyable it is
to engage with the original and invariably elegant essays in
Strawson's book.
