Mind, Meaning, and Knowledge Themes from the Philosophy of Crispin Wright

Thirteen leading experts in the field discuss some of the major themes in the philosophy of one of Great Britain's most important living philosophers. The articles address issues such as the rule-following problem, knowledge of our meanings and minds, truth, realism, anti-realism and relativism, as well as the nature of perceptual justification, the cogency of arguments such as G. E. Moore's celebrated proof of an external world, and scepticism about the materialworld. The volume also includes a substantial Introduction, which places the essays in the context of the development of Wright's ideas, and contains Wright's substantial responses to his critics,which offer the most up-to-date version of his ideas and a vigorous defence of his philosophy. This is a compulsory read for anyone interested in Wright's ideas and in contemporary issues in philosophy of language, mind, metaphysics, and epistemology.
