| | Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Obituary: Professor Sir Bernard Williams |
 | | Williams was a rivetting party guest, often causing a logjam round the fridge as the entire gathering struggled to get into the kitchen to hear him discussing metaphysics. |
 | | Williams pooh-poohed the incessantly-made antithesis between the rigorous analytic and the literary continental styles of philosophising, saying you might as well compare a car with four-wheel drive with a Japanese car (a category confusion of methodology and geography). |
 | | Williams is often considered an "anti-theory" philosopher, but paradoxically, while saying that moral philosophy cannot change anything, he showed, by changing the way we do it, that it could. |
