Truth, love, and immortality : an introduction to McTaggart's philosophy by
P. T Geach(
Book
)
18 editions published in 1979 in English and held by 565 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this important contribution to the revived interest in McTaggart's philosophy, Professor Geach clearly expounds the main lines of his metaphysical thought. McTaggart has produced some immensely interesting and significant arguments; in particular, his rigorous reasoning against the trustworthiness of sense perception and the reality of time deserves serious consideration. McTaggart presents his mystical vision of love--the element of our experience that brings us closest to absolute reality--with lucidity and deep conviction. This study will make stimulating reading for all students of philosophy and religion

Mental acts by
Peter Thomas Geach(
Book
)
23 editions published between 1957 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 214 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Geach insists, in opposition to the behaviorism of the day, that there are episodic mental acts such as acts of judgment. How to characterize such mental acts remains as problematic as it was fifty years ago, and his book still has much to teach us. He begins with an attack on the abstractionist theory of concept-formation, then goes on to criticize the relational theory of judgment propounded by Bertrand Russell. Moving from criticism to construction, Geach first offers an improved version of Russell's analysis, then moves on to offer an alternative of his own."--Jacket
