Description
This is a four-volume boxed set containing the books and articles of Henry H. Price. At a time in Oxford when new modes of practising philosophy were beginning to emerge, Price's interests were rooted in traditional issues of perception, knowledge, truth and belief. His 1932 "Perception" was a detailed analysis and construction of sense-datum theory; he used this book as the basis for his "Hume's Theory of the External World"; his later "Thinking and Experience" broke new ground on concept formation, theories of thinking, and imagism; and his Gifford Lectures on belief were the first sustained and systematic analysis in the 20th century of the nature of belief and belief formation. These three works also have relevance to recent interest in cognitive psychology. Together with his Sarum Lectures on the philosophy of religion and the other essays reprinted in this collection, this set presents his writings to today's reader.
