What are philosophers trying to achieve? How can they succeed? Does philosophy make progress? Is it in competition with science, or doing something completely different, or neither? Timothy Williamson tackles some of the key questions surrounding philosophy in new and provocative ways, showing how philosophy begins in common sense curiosity, and develops through our capacity to dispute rationally with each other. Discussing philosophy's ability to clarify our thoughts, he explains why such clarification depends on the development of philosophical theories, and how those theories can be tested by imaginative thought experiments, and compared against each other by standards similar to those used in the natural and social sciences. He also shows how logical rigour can be understood as a way of enhancing the explanatory power of philosophical theories. Drawing on the history of philosophy to provide a track record of philosophical thinking's successes and failures, Williams overturns widely held dogmas about the distinctive nature of philosophy in comparison to the sciences, demystifies its methods, and considers the future of the discipline. From thought experiments, to deduction, to theories, this Very Short Introduction will cause you to totally rethink what philosophy is.

Good value
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
I bought these pillows for my son, and he really likes them. They are soft and comfortable, perfect for sleeping and even hugging to fall asleep. They hold their shape well after washing. Overall, a good value for the price!

You won't regret buying these pillows, they're absolutely perfect.
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I absolutely love these pillows, I love the fact that they come with a cover to protect them. They're just the right amount of density to them to make them extremely comfortable. They don't flatten down and just stay flat. I've had one set of them for quite a while now and they're still just as good as the brand new ones that I bought. Eventually I will be replacing every pillow in my house with these pillows. They're very well made, The filling is just right, the size is perfect, the quality is absolutely amazing. If you buy these pillows you won't regret it, they're literally the probably the best pillows I've ever bought. And also one of the cheaper ones that I bought in price not quality. And I've never bought any of the store that come with the protective covers with them either. I do highly recommend them.

Would buy again
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I bought these pillows with the pillow protectors included. After 15 minutes of fluffing the pillows in the dryer they took their shape and were ready to use.
