The present collection of papers derives from a philosophy
conference organised in the Sicilian town of M ussomeli in
September 1991. The con ference aimed at providing an analysis of
certain aspects of the thought of Michael Dummett, whose
contributions have been very influential in several aspects of the
philosophical debate continuing within the analyt ical tradition.
Logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the interpretation of Frege's
philosophy, and metaphysics are only some of the areas within which
Dummett's ideas have been fruitful over the years. The papers
contained in this book, and Dummett's replies, will, it is hoped,
not merely offer a partial reconstruction of a philosopher's life
work, but provide an exciting and challenging vantage point from
which to look at some of the main problems of contemporary
philosophy. The First International Philosophy Conference of M
ussomeli - this is what the conference was called - was an
extraordinary event in many ways. The quality of the papers
presented, the international reputa tion of many of the
participants, the venue itself, together with the unavoidable, and
sometimes quite funny, organisational hiccups, made that meeting
memorable. Perhaps principally memorable was the warmth and
sympathy of the people of Mussomeli who strongly supported and
encouraged this initia tive. A special mention is also due to the
City Council Administrators, who spared no effort to make the
Conference a success."
