  • The Riddle of Vagueness

    Selected Essays 1975-2020

    by Crispin Wright ...
    It was well known to the Greeks that the phenomenon of vagueness in natural language gives rise to hard problems and paradoxes, yet more than two millennia passed before Philosophy began to pay any degree of concerted attention to the challenges of vagueness to match the effort expended, for example, on the Liar paradox and its kin. This situation changed dramatically in the last quarter of the ... Read more

  • Essays on Relativism

    2001-2021

    by Prof Crispin Wright ...
    The classical Protagorean idea that the idea of absolute truth is an illusion — that there is only 'your truth' and 'my truth', or perhaps 'our truth' and 'their truth' — was until quite recently widely regarded as thoroughly and deservedly discredited. However there has recently been a sea change among professional philosophers in the analytical tradition, with a number of distinguished ... Read more

  • Self-Knowledge and Knowledge A Priori

    by Giacomo Melis, Giovanni Merlo, Crispin Wright ...
    How is it possible to know of one's own mental states for the most part effortlessly and authoritatively? How can we know substantive facts of logic and mathematics, applicable to the natural world, just by thinking? These basic questions concern kinds of knowledge--psychological self-knowledge and knowledge a priori--that, however different in their subject matters, both seem to exemplify a ... Read more

  • Gadsby (Summarized Edition)

    Enriched edition. An Experimental Narrative of Branton Hills: Innovative Storytelling, a Constrained Writing Challenge, Leadership, and Community Revitalization

    by Ernest Vincent Wright, Crispin Hargrove, Harper Hughes ...
    Gadsby is a civic-minded novel chronicling how John Gadsby marshals the youth of Branton Hills to revive a sleepy American town, culminating in his election as mayor. Its most audacious feature is formal: a 50,000-word lipogram that entirely omits the letter 'e', forcing a prose of periphrasis, inventive synonymy, and syntactic detours. The result is a curious blend of boosterish municipal ... Read more

  • Self-Reflection for the Opaque Mind

    An Essay in Neo-Sellarsian Philosophy

    by T. Parent ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy

After all, the research shows not merely that we are bad at detecting "ego-threatening" thoughts à la Freud. It also indicates that we are ignorant of even our ordinary thoughts—e.g., reasons for our moral ... Read more
