Philosophical Manuscripts Lewis David
David Lewis (1941-2001) was a celebrated and influential figure in analytic philosophy. This volume contains two longer manuscripts which Lewis had originally intended to turn into books, and thirty-one shorter items. When Lewis died, he left behind a large body of unpublished notes, manuscripts, and letters.
