David Braddon-Mitchell, Robert Nola (eds): Conceptual Analysis and Philosophical Naturalism

摘要

David Braddon-Mitchell is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, while Robert Nola is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Auckland. Together, they edit a volume of 14 fine essays that critically evaluate the philosophical methodology and analysis now known as the Canberra Plan, the project to which this edited volume has its origin in Frank Ramsey's 1990 essay entitled "Theories". The 14 essays are broken into three different parts, addressing issues in mind, metaphysics, and normativity, with the bulk of the essays to be found in part one. In what follows, select essays from this volume are highlighted to give a sample of what may be found therein.
