Summary
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1531570287183_838">Galen Strawson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. Amongst countless papers in metaphysics and philosophy of mind, Galen is the author of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-Belief-Galen-Strawson/dp/0199247501" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Freedom and Belief</em></a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Subject-Experience-Galen-Strawson/dp/0198777884/ref=pd_sbs_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0198777884&pd_rd_r=6b9ade99-875d-11e8-b4cf-e13175fc1cb0&pd_rd_w=L3HOu&pd_rd_wg=sxGQ4&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=5179604776422437276&pf_rd_r=8Z5MPX807PQR3KV0ABK7&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=8Z5MPX807PQR3KV0ABK7" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>The Subject of Experience</em></a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Consciousness-Its-Place-Nature-Physicalism/dp/1845400593/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NMBR73J9QR82MPYAAEJB" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Consciousness and Its Place in Nature</em></a> and most recently, <em><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Things-That-Bother-Galen-Strawson/dp/1681372207/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NMBR73J9QR82MPYAAEJB" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Things That Bother Me: Death, Freedom, the Self, Etc.</a> </em></p> <p>The widespread impact of these works cannot be understated. In the words of Stephen Fry:</p> <blockquote>Galen Strawson has a marvellous gift for untangling even the most complex lines in philosophical thinking and laying them straight. He writes with humour, clarity and always from a recognizably human place. Even the most complex and controversial areas in modern philosophy come into the light when you are in his benign company…. He opens windows and finds light-switches like no other philosopher writing today.</blockquote>
