Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Susan Stebbing: Analysis, Common Sense, and Public Philosophy is the first edited volume, comprised of eleven historical essays, dedicated exclusively to Susan Stebbing, a long neglected female figure in the male-dominated tradition of analytic philosophy and Britain's first female Professor of Philosophy. The volume endeavors to reinstate Stebbing's place in the analytic tradition by examining her ideas in context and elucidating their significance, many of which are still relevant to present day philosophy.
MoreLong description:
Susan Stebbing: Analysis, Common Sense, and Public Philosophy is the first edited volume to be dedicated exclusively to the philosophy of Susan Stebbing (1885-1943)-a pivotal female figure in the male-dominated tradition of early analytic philosophy, and Britain's first female professor of philosophy who has, until recently, been unjustly neglected. This volume collects eleven new essays that explore various elements of Stebbing's prolific output: the significance of her work on metaphysical analysis, her contributions to public philosophy, including her work in the philosophy of physics, critical thinking, ethics, and counterpropaganda efforts, as well as her work in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language. The volume and its contributors aim to reinstate Stebbing's place in the analytic tradition by examining her ideas - many of which are still relevant to present day philosophy - in context and elucidating their significance.
