Philosophy, History, and Myth is a collection of essays that were originally delivered as academic lectures. The essays are relatively informal explorations of topics in the history of philosophy (Reid and common sense; the unity of eighteenth-century philosophy; Bolingbroke; the two editions of Kant's first Critique), logic and its philosophical relevance, materialism in the philosophy of mind, the Hegelian end of history, the role of humanism in the contemporary world, and relations between philosophy and myth, broadly and also more specifically with reference to themes in early Greek literature. The collection is unified and informed by the philosophical commitments of the author to a comprehensive naturalist and humanist perspective.
