Description:
This is the story of Ted Honderich's perilous progress from childhood in Canada to the Grote Professorship of Mind and Logic at University College, London. It is a compelling and revealing autobiography of early work as a journalist on the Toronto Star, travels with Elvis Presley, lunch with Jimmy Cagney, arrival in Britain, intellectual and professional friendship and rivalry, marriages, affairs, troubled relationships and children. Along the way important questions keep coming back in Honderich's life: can reason and passion coexist? If everything in our lives has a cause what room is there for our choosing what to do? Can relationships survive feminism? What are the boundaries between student and teacher?
Expand description
It is also the story of Ted Honderich's philosophy. He makes philosophy -- from consciousness, time and truth, to problems of punishment and democracy -- clear for the general reader. Philosopher sets brave new standards for the telling of a life, one neither veiled nor varnished over.
