This volume is a collective exploration of major themes in the work
of Crispin Wright, one of today's leading philosophers. These newly
commissioned papers are divided into four sections, preceded by a
substantial Introduction, which places them in the context of the
development of Wright's ideas. The distinguished contributors
address issues such as the rule-following problem, knowledge of our
meanings and minds, truth, realism, anti-realism and relativism, as
well as the nature of perceptual justification, the cogency of
arguments such as G. E. Moore's celebrated proof of an external
world, and skepticism about the material world. Some papers explore
the relationship of Wright's ideas with those of Ludwig
Wittgenstein, whose influence has always been a prominent aspect of
Wright's philosophy. The essays collectively testify to the
enormous interest and relevance of Wright's seminal contributions
for present-day debates in areas as diverse as the philosophy of
language and mind, metaphysics, and epistemology, and significantly
advance research in these areas. The volume also contains Wright's
substantial responses to his critics, which offer the most
up-to-date versions of his ideas and a vigorous defense of his
philosophy.
