He has edited Logic and Language, Essays in Conceptual Analysis, and, together with Alasdair Maclntyre, New Essays in Philosophical Theology, which includes the following pieces by Flew himself, Hare, and Mitchell. Flew's own books include Hume's Philosophy of Belief. Richard Marvyn Hare was born in 1919. He is a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and the author of The Language of Morals and Freedom and Reason.
