Description

In this short, lucid, rich book, Sir Michael Dummett, perhaps the most eminent living British philosopher, sets out his views about some of the deepest questions in philosophy. The fundamental question of metaphysics is: what does reality consist of? Dummett puts forward his controversial view of reality as indeterminate: there may be no fact of the matter about whether an object does or does not have a given property.

Features

  • Summation of the work of a giant of contemporary philosophy
  • Highly original views on central issues in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language
  • Clear, short, and accessible
