In 1942 G.E. Moore first wrote about the curious sort of ''nonsense'' exhibited by the statement ''it is raining but I do not believe it''. What Moore discovered was a species of blindspots: consistent propositions that cannot be rationally accepted by certain individuals even though they might be true. In this book, Professor Sorenson aims to provide a unified solution to a large family of philosophical puzzles and paradoxes through a study of blindspots . He devotes special attention to revealing their role in ''slippery slope'' reasoning.
