  • D. z. Phillips on Waiters and Bad Faith

  • Professor D. Z. Phillips in ‘Bad Faith and Sartre's Waiter’ (Philosophy56, 1981) assigns to Sartre the view that ‘waiters are necessarily in bad faith’, i.e. the profession of waiting as such is in bad faith. What could this mean in the context of Sartre's philosophy? That waiters as a class seek to flee their freedom by adopting that vocation? It must mean something on those lines since, for Sartre, to engage in bad faith is (in a certain mode) to deny one's freedom. The question then arises: could Sartre have heldsuch a view ? And, if he could not have, how does Phillips manage tothink he did ?

  • Encounters with Aristotle

  • Malcolm Schofield
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    30 January 2009, pp. 392-402

  • Of this batch of books1 the one I found most compelling reading was Sarah Waterlow's Nature, Change and Agency. This work is an intense meditative commentary on the most important portions of the Physics; it probes beneath the text of Aristotle's loosely organized treatise to exhibit its deep structure. Waterlow attempts to show how Aristotle's apparently independent and self-contained discussions in Books I, II, III-IV and VIII all rest on a single notion, viz. that the world consists of natural substances, understood as things engaged each in a unitary pattern of change whose source and determining plan is within themselves.
