The Challenge of Things. The Challenge of Things collects Grayling’s most recent essays on the world in a time of war and conflict. By thinking through difficult topics in troubled times, Grayling examines the habits and prejudices of the mind that might otherwise trap us in a sterile cul-de-sac and opens up the possibility of more creativeapproaches.
BERKELEY'S ARGUMENT FOR IMMATERIALISM Berkeley's philosophical view is often described as an argument for "immaterialism", by which is meant a denial of the existence of matter (or more precisely, material substance.) But he also, famously, argued in support of three further theses. He argued for idealism, the THE LAST WORD ON DEATH The Last Word on Death. Written by A.C. Grayling on 20 January 2001.

PHILOSOPHY 1: A GUIDE THROUGH THE SUBJECT The aim of philosophical inquiry is to gain insight into questions about knowledge, truth, reason, reality, meaning, mind and value.

Last week the Government announced that it is to add a clause to its current education bill requiring that schools should promote marriage and "other stable relationships" as ideals, and should encourage pupils to delay engaging in sex until they are older. THE LAST WORD ON SORROW The Last Word on Sorrow. Written by AC Grayling. Sorrow makes us all children again" – Ralph Waldo Emerson. When people die in an accident, suddenly and unexpectedly, with a terrible arbitrariness that seems unjust and cruel beyond description, there seem to be very few consolations for those left behind.

Academic interests. The focus of Anthony Grayling's interests in technical academic philosophy is the overlap between theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophical logic. In summary, they concern the relation between thinking and theorising about the world, and the knowledge and meaning constraints which govern them. #PUTNEY - A.C. GRAYLING 1 BACKGROUND.
