About the Book

The philosophy of John Macmurray is only now receiving the attention it deserves. It is in the contemporary climate of dissatisfaction with individualism that Macmurray's emphasis on the relations of persons has come to the fore. Moreover, Macmurray's recognition of the central importance of acknowledging human embodiment is being favourably received by a wide range of fields, which includes philosophers, theologians and psychologists. Macmurray's overriding concern is to present an adequate account of the person and of personal relationships. Nevertheless, he is an eclectic writer, whose work addresses concerns in education, science and art, which all stem from his understanding of human agency. In addition, this leads Macmurray into a discussion of the ethics of personal and political relations and a critique of otherworldly religion. Hence, Macmurray's philosophy is informed by fairly unconventional religious beliefs.

Review :
"A highly recommended selection." -- Robert Calder Appraisal "McIntosh has done an excellent job in putting together the selection; she has been able to showcase the work of a thinker who is not widely known outside of Britain in a way that demonstrates that he can still prove engaging for the contemporary reader." -- Philip Quadrio Journal of Religious History "An ideal introduction."
