Georg Henrik von Wright, born in Helsinki in 1916, is the most renowned
Scandinavian philosopher of our time, and an outstanding contributor to
many fields of philosophy. He has made important contributions to
logical theory and extended the application of logic to new areas,
making path-breaking discoveries in probability theory, induction,
causation and determinism, human action, and ethics. This work contains
von Wright's intellectual autobiography, 32 major criticisms of his
ideas, and von Wright's replies to each of these papers, followed by a
complete bibliography of his works.
