A. W. Moore argues in this bold and ambitious book that it is
possible to think about the world 'from no point of view'. He
examines this idea, explains its significance, and considers
reasons for thinking that such a thing is not possible. In
particular, drawing on the work of Kant and Wittgenstein, he
considers transcendental idealism. This leads to the heart of his
project: a study of ineffability and nonsense. His fundamental idea
is that transcendental idealism is nonsense resulting from the
attempt to express certain inexpressible insights. This idea is
applied to a wide range of fundamental philosophical issues,
including the nature of persons, the subject-matter of mathematics,
anti-realism, value, and God; Moores original approach forges
unexpected connections between the various questions he addresses.
Points of View is a lucid and lively study of the relation between
reality and our representations of it, the upshot of which is a
powerful critique of our own finitude.
