A collective volume, containing thirteen original essays on several aspects of Crispin Wright's philosophy, focusing, in particular, on rule-following, self-knowledge, pluralism, relativism and epistemology. It contains a substantial Introduction by A. Coliva and Wright's replies to contributors.
In this BOOK, the first one of two volumes dedicated to Crispin Wright, thirteen chapters discuss some of the main themes in the philosophy of one of Great Britain's most important living philosophers. These chapters are divided into four sections, preceded by a substantial Introduction, which places them in the context of the development of Wright's ideas. The chapters 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 like G. E. Moore's celebrated proof of an external world, and scepticism about the material world. Some of them explore the relationship of Wright's ideas with those of Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose influence has always been a prominent aspect in Wright's philosophy. The volume also 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.

Abstract
In this BOOK, the first one of two volumes dedicated to Crispin Wright, thirteen chapters discuss some of the main themes in the philosophy of one of Great Britain's most important living philosophers. These chapters are divided into four sections, preceded by a substantial Introduction, which places them in the context of the development of Wright's ideas. The chapters 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 like G. E. Moore's celebrated proof of an external world, and scepticism about the material world. Some of them explore the relationship of Wright's ideas with those of Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose influence has always been a prominent aspect in Wright's philosophy. The volume also 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.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
