Even though I diverge from T.J. Reed in several important ways, I’ve learned greatly from his writings on Mann  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) Most influential of all is the philosopher Stanley Cavell, and a younger generation of philosophers who have attempted to follow his pioneering work in thinking about literature philosophically  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) I don’t think readers of Mann have overlooked the fact that he was a great ironist, but they have tended to see the irony in particular parts of the novella, and to miss it in others  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) The more you read the novella, the more you should wonder, I think, which judgments are to be taken as bedrock  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) Was Mann himself fully aware of all the facets of his irony?

Yet the surviving diaries tell us of recurrent sexual problems - and of Katia Mann’s extremely sympathetic response to the  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) Experiments work when, and only when, they call into action cognitive capacities that might reliably deliver the conclusions drawn  (Philip Kitcher Quotes) In my view, we ought to replace the notion of analytic philosophy by that of synthetic philosophy  (Philip Kitcher Quotes)
