John McDowell is one of the most influential philosophers writing today. His work, ranging from interpretations of Plato and Aristotle to Davidsonian semantics, from ethics to epistemology and the philosophy of mind, has set the agenda for many recent philosophical debates. This Volume contains the proceedings of the Münsterschen Vorlesungen zur Philosophie which McDowell delivered in 1999: A lecture entitled "Experiencing the World", introduces into the set of ideas McDowell developed in his groundbreaking book Mind and World. The lecture is followed by ten brief essays, both interpretative and critical, in which students and faculty from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Münster discuss various aspects of McDowell's philosophy. The volume ends with responses by John McDowell.
