  • Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (The original 1922 edition with an introduction by Bertram Russell) (Annotated)

    Enriched Edition. Language, Logic, and the Boundaries of Meaning

    by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Elowen Quenmere ...
    Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is one of the defining works of twentieth-century philosophy: a terse, numbered sequence of propositions seeking to delimit the relation between language, logic, world, and thought. Written in an aphoristic yet rigorously architectonic style, it argues that meaningful propositions picture facts, while ethics, metaphysics, and the mystical lie ... Read more

    by David Papineau ...

  • The World-Time Parallel

    Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics

    by A. A. Rini, M. J. Cresswell ...
    Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an ... Read more

  • Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge

    by Alexander Philip ...
    Two years ago, in the preface to another essay, the present writer ventured to affirm that “Civilisation moves rather towards a chaos than towards a cosmos.” But he could not foretell that the descensus Averni would be so alarmingly rapid. When we find Science, which has done so much and promised so much for the happiness of mankind, devoting so large a proportion of its resources to the ... Read more

  • Vagueness and Degrees of Truth

    by Nicholas J. J. Smith ...
    In Vagueness and Degrees of Truth, Nicholas Smith develops a new theory of vagueness: fuzzy plurivaluationism. A predicate is said to be vague if there is no sharply defined boundary between the things to which it applies and the things to which it does not apply. For example, 'heavy' is vague in a way that 'weighs over 20 kilograms' is not. A great many predicates - both in everyday talk, and in ... Read more

  • Empiricism and the Problem of Metaphysics

    by Paul Studtmann ...
    If there is one utterly inescapable problem for the metaphysician, it is this: is metaphysics itself a theoretically legitimate discipline? Is it, in other words, capable of a systematic and well-confirmed set of theoretical results? And if not, why not? From its inception, metaphysics has found itself exercised by the nagging worry that its own inquiries might reveal it to be a subject without an ... Read more

    Ideas, Immateralism, and Objective Presence

    Berkeley: Ideas, Immaterialism, and Objective Presence offers a novel interpretation of the arc of George Berkeley's philosophical thought, from his theory of vision through his immaterialism and finally to his proof of God's existence.
