"C. D. Broad (1887-1971) was a British philosopher who taught for many years at Trinity
College, Cambridge. Possessing an extremely wide-ranging interests, Broad made significant
contributions to the mind-body problem, perception, memory, introspection, the unconscious,
the nature of space, time and causation. He also wrote extensively on the philosophy
of science, ethics, the history of philosophy and the philosophy of religion and had
an abiding interest in 'psychical research'-a subject he approached with the disinterested
curiosity and scrupulous care that is characteristic of his philosophical work. Whilst
overshadowed in his own time by figures such as Russell, Moore and Wittgenstein, he
is acknowledged to have anticipated important developments in several fields, such
as emergence in philosophy of science, sense perception and the "growing block" theory
of time in metaphysics. Although Broad published many books in his lifetime, this
volume is unique in presenting some of his most interesting unpublished writings.
Divided into five clear sections, the following figures and topics are covered: Autobiography
Hegel and the nature of philosophy Francis Bacon Hume's philosophy of the self and
belief F.H. Bradley The Historical Development of Scientific Thought from Pythagoras
to Newton Causation Change and continuity Quantitative methods Poltergeists Paranormal
phenomena. Each section is introduced and placed in context by the editor, Joel Walmsley.
The volume also includes an engaging and informative foreword by Simon Blackburn.
It will be of great value to those studying and researching the history of twentieth-century
philosophy, metaphysics and the recent history and philosophy of science, as well
as anyone interested in Broad's philosophical thought and his place in the history
of philosophy"
