Putting Metaphysics First Essays on Metaphysics and Epistemology
Michael Devitt presents a series of essays in which he argues for an uncompromisingly realist view of the external physical world. He goes on to reject moral noncognitivism & antirealist views of truth. He argues against the a priori, & urges that we should approach epistemology & semantics from a metaphysical perspective & not vice versa.
