Cosmic Philosopher
By Bernard Williams
Philosophical Explanations
by Robert Nozick
Harvard University Press/Belknap, 764 pp., $25.00
Toward the end of his talented, diverse, and very long book, Robert Nozick embraces the idea of philosophy as an art form, and of the philosopher as a literary creator who works with ideas. This reinforces an idea that may have already occurred to the reader; if this book is in some way like a literary work, it is clear what kind of literary work it is like.
