Thought, to be thought at all, must be about a world independent of
us. But thinking takes capacities for thought, which inevitably
shape thought's objects. What would count as something being green
is, somehow, fixed by what we, who have being green in mind, are
prepared to recognize. So it can seem that what is true, and what
is not, is not independent of us. So our thought cannot really be
about an independent world. We are confronted with an apparent
paradox. Much philosophy, from Locke to Kant to Frege to
Wittgenstein, to Hilary Putnam and John McDowell today, is a
reaction to this paradox. Charles Travis presents a set of eleven
essays, each working in its own way towards dissolving this air of
paradox. The key to his account of thought and world is the idea of
the parochial: features of our thought which need not belong to all
thought.
