Carnap, Quine, and Putnam held that in our pursuit of truth we can
do no better than to start in the middle, relying on
already-established beliefs and inferences and applying our best
methods for re-evaluating particular beliefs and inferences and
arriving at new ones. In this collection of essays, Gary Ebbs
interprets these thinkers' methodological views in the light of
their own philosophical commitments, and in the process refutes
some widespread misunderstandings of their views, reveals the real
strengths of their arguments, and exposes a number of problems that
they face. To solve these problems, in many of the essays Ebbs also
develops new philosophical approaches, including new theories of
logical truth, language use, reference and truth, truth by
convention, realism, trans-theoretical terms, agreement and
disagreement, radical belief revision, and contextually a priori
statements. His essays will be valuable for a wide range of readers
in analytic philosophy.
