<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong> Part memoir, part study, <em>The Making of a Philosopher</em> is the self-portrait of a deeply intelligent mind as it develops over a life on both sides of the Atlantic.</strong></p><p> <em>The Making of a Philosopher</em> follows Colin McGinn from his early years in England reading Descartes and Anselm, to his years in the states, first in Los Angeles, then New York. McGinn presents a contemporary academic take on the great philosophical figures of the twentieth century, including Bertrand Russell, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Noam Chomsky, alongside stories of the teachers who informed his ideas and often became friends and mentors, especially the colorful A.J. Ayer at Oxford. </p><p> McGinn's prose is always elegant and probing; students of contemporary philosophy and the general reader alike will absorb every page.</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If Wittgenstein had written an autobiography it might have resembled this...brilliantly written, devastatingly honest, often very funny"---- Oliver Sacks, M.D.<br><br>"McGinn is an ingenious philosopher who thinks like a laser and writes like a dream"--Stephen Pinker<br>
