Croquet - David Miller and Robert Thorp

Croquet & How to Play It, co-authored by Professor David Miller and Robert Thorp, reflects the rich diversity of interests within Warwick’s Philosophy Department. David Miller, who taught at Warwick from 1969 to 2007, specialised in formal methods in the philosophy of science. While not a philosophical work, the book nods to philosophers’ fascination with games and rule systems—Wittgenstein famously suggested that the variety of games need have nothing in common and are collected together like the fibres in a rope rather than by a single shared strand.
