Über Autor(innen)

P. M. S. Hacker is the leading authority on the philosophy of Wittgenstein, on which he has written ten books. He has also written extensively on the philosophy of language. His other area of specialization is philosophy and cognitive neuroscience, on which he has written three books together with the eminent neuroscientist, M. R. Bennett. For Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience in particular, Hacker was appointed to an honorary UCL professorship in the Department of Neurology at University College London. Hacker has published three volumes of a tetralogy on human nature: The Categorial Framework, The Intellectual Powers and The Passions. The final volume will be The Moral Powers (forthcoming, 2020).
