A triple-threat as a philosopher, an anthropologist, and as a sociologist, Ernest Gellner made key contributions in each of his chosen fields.
Synopsis
The essays in this volume gather together Gellner's thinking on the connection between philosophy and life and they approach the topic from a number of directions: philosophy of morals, history of ideas, a discussion of individuals including R. G. Collingwood, Noam Chomsky, Piaget and Eysenck and discussions on the setting of philosophy in the general culture of England and America.
