Truth, Meaning, Justification, and Reality: Themes from Dummett (Lauener Library of Analytical Philosophy) (Lauener Library of Analytical Philosophy, 4) by Michael Frauchiger (PDF)

Description

This collection concentrates on vital themes from Michael Dummett, one of the most influential and creative analytic philosophers of our time. The contributors, who include some of Dummett’s distinguished former students, critically reflect on various concerns of Dummett’s ground-breaking work in philosophy of language, metaphysics, and philosophy of mathematics and logic. The essays direct towards aspects of Dummett’s pioneering work in the history of analytical philosophy, particularly his interpretations of the works of Frege and of Wittgenstein, which in conjunction with Dummett’s own highly original ideas on truth and meaning have shaped decisive contemporary debates concerning notably the distinction between realism and anti-realism. Further, the volume includes a cheerfully serious excursion into popular philosophy by Dummett himself and reveals less known facets of Dummett’s many-sided work and activities such as his political philosophy of immigration and asylum, and beyond that, his untiring and warm-hearted campaign for racial justice and humanity. Contributors: Michael Dummett, Eva Picardi, Crispin Wright, Timothy Williamson, Ian Rumfitt, Daniel Isaacson, Dag Prawitz, Dale Jacquette, Alex Burri, Michael Frauchiger.

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover This book’s contributors reflect discerningly on vital concerns of Michael Dummett’s ground-breaking work in philosophy of language, metaphysics, and philosophy of mathematics and logic. Some essays direct towards aspects of his pioneering critical interpretation of the work of Frege, which in conjunction with Dummett’s own highly original ideas on truth and meaning have shaped decisive contemporary debates concerning notably the distinction between realism and anti-realism. Additionally, the collection reveals important but less accentuated facets of Dummett’s many-sided work such as his innovative philosophy of immigration and asylum, which makes the practical experience of Dummett’s vigorous, untiring struggle for racial justice beneficial to moral and political philosophy.
