Eleven distinguished philosophers have contributed specially written essays on a set of topics much debated in recent years, including physicalism, qualia, semantic competence, conditionals, presuppositions, two-dimensional semantics, and the relation between logic and metaphysics. All these topics are prominent in the work of Robert Stalnaker, a major presence in contemporary philosophy, in honour of whom the volume is published. It also contains a substantial new essay in which Stalnaker replies to his critics, and sets out his current views on the topics discussed.Contributors: Richard Heck, Frank Jackson, William Lycan, Vann McGee, John Perry, Paul Pietroski, Sydney Shoemaker, Scott Soames, Daniel Stoljar, Timothy Williamson, and Stephen Yablo.

Industry Reviews

The eleven original essays in this collection competently cover a wide range of Robert Stalnaker's philosophical work, and Stalnaker's replies to them are clear, well-thought out, and informative. Anyone interested in Stalnaker's philosophy or the areas covered in this volume is well advised to read it. * Takashi Yagisawa, Mind *
