The Great Philosophers booklets from The Independent

[Katharine]

We have lost booklet 4 in this series Thomas Hobbes, Rene Descartes & Blaise Pascal, it was the day John went to hospital. Has anyone got a copy they could let me have? Patrick is very keen to have the full collection.

Thank you.

We have now located a booklet from another search, thank you.

Patrick has a degree in Philosophy from St Andrews so he has probably read most of them. He is very interested in seeing how the Independent has put each over. I haven't had much time recently so haven't read very much but I would be particularly interested in this booklet.

That's really interesting. Ask him if he's come across Antonio Rosmini? I am currently going through his writings and deriving some really interesting ideas from them. The political dimensions of the subject/object split, the vacuity of Utilitarianism and quite a few other issues.
He's not a well known figure but is worth delving into. Even if you don't share his Catholicism.

Just asked about Antonio Rosmini and he has heard of him but not read very much, he said he might try to get hold of some. I have never heard the name before!
