Crispin Wright is widely recognised as one of the most important and influential analytic philosophers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This volume is a collective exploration of the major themes of his work in philosophy of language, philosophical logic, and philosophy of mathematics. It comprises specially written chapters by a group of internationally renowned thinkers, as well as four substantial responses from Wright. In these thematically organized replies, Wright summarizes his life's work and responds to the contributory essays collected in this book. In bringing together such scholarship, the present volume testifies to both the enormous interest in Wright's thought and the continued relevance of Wright's seminal contributions in analytic philosophy for present-day debates;

Industry Reviews

Miller (Univ. of Otago) has assembled 10 commissioned papers by well-chosen specialists who are influential writers in their respective fields. The special focus of this book is, however, Wright's substantive and careful, comprehensive replies to each of the four major themes of his critics: Gottlob Frege's philosophy and logicism, vagueness and language, logical revisionism, and the metaphysics of possibility. With respect to each of these themes, Wright provides an extensive overview of the topic itself prior to his specific responses to the contributors' various critical standpoints. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. * L. C. Archie, CHOICE *
