The first volume contains critical essays on particular thinkers and books, ranging from Plato’s Parmenides to Wittgenstein’s Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics by way of Locke, Heidegger, Carnap, and the Austins J.L. and Jane. The larger second volume contains 37 papers on a variety of subjects, of which the first half, Ryle suggests, are linked by an ‘Occamizing zeal’ (largely on logical questions, even though he confesses himself unqualified to be ‘a real logician’), and the second half are concentrated on the notion of thinking.
