Nelson Goodman's distinctive contributions to such diverse areas of
philosophy as epistemology, metaphysics, semiotics, logic,
philosophy of language, science, and art, and his engagement with
the work of Rudolf Carnap and other prominent figures in the
analytic tradition, places him at the forefront of the history and
development of Anglo-American philosophy in the twentieth century.
Although recently the significance of Goodman's work has not been
sufficiently appreciated, Daniel Cohnitz and Marcus Rossberg show
that much of it is of relevance for contemporary philosophy. This
book, the first comprehensive introduction to Goodman's philosophy,
examines and assesses his contribution. The book begins with
Goodman's New Riddle of Induction, the so-called "Grue"-paradox,
which exemplifies his way of dealing with philosophical problems,
and thus provides an introduction to Goodman's thought. It then
covers his central work, The Structure of Appearance, as well as
his philosophy of art, philosophy of language, his conventionalism,
constructionalism and relativism. The technical apparatus that is
required to understand Goodman's work, in particular his mereology
and theory of symbols, is introduced in an accessible manner in the
course of the book. The final chapter locates Goodman's position in
contemporary debates and discusses recent criticisms.
