F. Atkinson in Hume Studies[24] and Donald W. Livingston[25] amongst others,[26][27] won the Matchette Prize in 1979.[9] It would be followed, in 1984, by The Significance of Philosophical Scepticism.[28] And, in 1999, by The Quest for Reality: Subjectivism and the Metaphysics of Colour.[29][30][31] Stroud's Engagement and Metaphysical Dissatisfaction: Modality and Value was published in 2011.[32] 2011 would also see the publication of the first book-length critical treatment of Stroud's thought, The Possibility of Philosophical Understanding: Reflections on the Thought of Barry Stroud.[1] It included essay contributions from Robert Fogelin, Ernest Sosa, John McDowell, Sarah Stroud[33] and UC Berkeley colleague Hannah Ginsborg[34] amongst others.[35] Some of the central themes of his philosophical work are interpreted and elaborated upon in the volume editors' introduction to that work.[36] Several collections of Stroud's essays would also be published in his lifetime, the last of these appearing in 2018.[37][6] Death[edit] Having been diagnosed with advanced stage brain cancer just two months prior, Barry Stroud died on 9 August 2019.[38] Announcing his passing, Berkeley Philosophy Department recorded that: His body of work, his influence on generations of students, his imprint on the character of our department, the example that he set of the purest philosophical inquiry — all of it is beyond reckoning. As hard as it is to imagine what philosophy at Berkeley will be like without him, it is even harder to imagine what it would have been.[38] A memorial by former student, and fellow philosopher, John Schwenkler was published by 3 Quarks Daily on 19 August 2019.[39] Obituaries in the Berkeley News and The Daily Californian followed shortly after.[40][41] Bibliography[edit] Books[edit] (1977) Hume (Arguments of the Philosophers) Routledge.
