Stephen Mumford is Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Nottingham UK. He is the author of Metaphysics: A Very Short Introduction (2012) and Causation: A Very Short Introduction (2013).
Brings philosophy to life in a way that will draw readers in and part the curtain that too often obscures real philosophical thinking about hard core topics that obsess professional philosophers. Stephen Mumford provides an enchanting account of a week in the life of a philosopher determined to prove to himself that his life's work has not been a sham. Nonphilosophers as well as philosophers will be captivated. John Heil, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis, USA
