1 Miller, John William The Task of Criticism: Essays on Philosophy, History and Community
W W Norton & Co Ltd 2005 0393327337 / 9780393327335 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback 
New. Near fine in publisher's rubbed decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Erudite and eloquent, John William Miller's writing engages readers with his "earthy" treatment of basic philosophical questions. Designed as an introduction to a compelling historicist philosophy, this volume presents Miller's best and most representative essays in a single, authoritative edition. Miller (1895-1978) taught at Williams College, and he is well known for his extraordinary teaching (described in Masters: Portraits of Great Teachers). He was also a philosopher of the first rank, who arrived at a strikingly original reinterpretation of the history of philosophy and the perennial philosophical problems, especially dualism. Challenging the dogmatism and nihilism that mark so much of recent philosophy, Miller advocated a thoughtful and engaged approach to life - one that revitalizes philosophical activity, embraces history, and joins reflection with participation in a democratic community. The editors have selected twenty-nine essays and have composed succinct introductions to each. Joseph P. Fell has contributed a general introduction that places Miller's thought in context and exhibits the contemporary relevance of his philosophy. ... About the Author Joseph P. Fell is J. H. Harris Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Bucknell University and editor of The Philosophy of John William Miller. Vincent Colapietro is professor of philosophy at Pennsylvania State University and author of The Fateful Shapes of Human Freedom: John William Miller and the Crises of Modernity. Michael J. McGandy is an independent scholar.
