Thought and Action

on Third Programme

by Stuart Hampshire, Professor of Philosophy in the University of London

Professor Hampshire discusses some of the topics of the book he published last year. Responsible action involves knowing what you do and being able to give an account of it. This raises some interesting questions such as the difference between 'inside' and 'outside' knowledge, the influence of our environment, and the relation between psychology and ethics.
