This volume presents fourteen original essays which explore the
philosophy of Simon Blackburn, one of the UK's most influential
contemporary philosophers. Blackburn is best known to the general
public for his attempts to make philosophy accessible to those with
little or no formal training, but in professional circles his
reputation is based on a lifetime pursuit of his distinctive
version of a projectivist and anti-realist research program. As he
sees things, we must always try first to understand and explain
what we are doing when we think and talk as we do. This research
program reaches into nearly all of the main areas of philosophy:
metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, moral philosophy,
and moral psychology. The books and articles he has written provide
us with perhaps the most comprehensive statement and defense of
projectivism and anti-realism since Hume. The essays collected here
document the range and influence of Blackburn's work. They reveal,
among other things, the resourcefulness of his distinctive brand of
philosophical pragmatism.
