Thinking to Some Purpose Résumé

Thinking to Some Purpose Susan Stebbing

A classic of how to think clearly and critically and ahead of its time in anticipating the threats to democracy by poor argument and shoddy reasoning

Engaging, clear and witty, it is a brilliant example of how philosophy can connect with the concerns with everyone and requires no knowledge of the subject

Susan Stebbing was the first woman in the UK to be appointed a professor of philosophy, in 1933

A new foreword by Nigel Warburton and introduction by Peter West help to set Stebbing book in helpful context

À propos de Susan Stebbing

Susan Stebbing (1885-1943) was a leading figure in British philosophy between the First and Second World Wars. The first woman in the UK to be appointed to a full professorship in philosophy, in 1933, she taught at Bedford College (now Royal Holloway University). She was best known for her work on logic before turning more generally to the study of thinking and reasoning. At a time when analytic philosophy was largely confined to technical questions, her work stood out for engaging with contemporary issues and addressing a wider public audience. Philosophy and the Physicists (1937) and Thinking to Some Purpose (1939) were critiques of the language used in popular science communication and in everyday genres such as political speeches, advertisements and newspaper editorials.
