Ethics Without Principles

The Value of Knowledge and the Pursuit of Understanding
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 44.00Jonathan Kvanvig argues that epistemology cannot ignore the question of the value of knowledge and questions the assumption that knowledge is always more valuable than the value of its subparts.

Facts, Values, and Norms
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 42.00In contrast to facts, values and morality seem insecure, influenced by illusion or ideology.

Thought and World
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 28.00The author presents a deflationary theory of the content of semantic notions.

Meaning, Expression and Thought
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 58.00This philosophical treatise on the foundations of semantics is a systematic effort to clarify, deepen, and defend the classical doctrine that words are conventional signs of mental states, principally thoughts and ideas, and that meaning consists in their expression. more...

Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 35.00In this collection of essays, Jane Heal argues that central to our ability to arrive at views about others' thoughts is not knowledge of some theory of the mind but rather an ability to imagine alternative worlds and how things appear from another person's point of view. more...
A Physicalist Manifesto
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 60.00A Physicalist Manifesto is the fullest treatment yet of the comprehensive physicalist view that, in some important sense, everything is physical. Andrew Melnyk argues that the view is best formulated by appeal to a carefully worked-out notion of realization, rather than supervenience; that, so formulated, physicalism must be importantly reductionist;... more...
Intellectual Trust in Oneself and Others
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 37.00In this novel and provocative account of intellectual trust and authority, Richard Foley argues that it can be reasonable to have intellectual trust in oneself even though it is not possible to provide a defense of the reliability of one's faculties, methods, and opinions that does not beg the question. more...
