<P>By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, <EM>Freedom and Resentment</EM> collects some of Strawson's most important work and is an ideal introduction to his thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. </P>
<P>Beginning with the title essay <EM>Freedom and Resentment</EM>, this invaluable collection is testament to the astonishing range of Strawson's thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. The book is perhaps best-known for its three interrelated chapters on perception and the imagination, subjects now at the very forefront of philosophical research.</P>
<P>This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Paul Snowdon and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson. </P>
