Much contemporary metaphysics, moved by an apparent necessity to
take reality to consist of given beings and properties, presents us
with what appear to be deep problems requiring radical changes in
the common sense conception of persons and the world. Contemporary
meta-ethics ignores questions about logical form and formulates
questions in ways that make the possibility of correct value
judgments mysterious. In this book, Wheeler argues that given a
Davidsonian understanding of truth, predication, and
interpretation, and given a relativised version of Aristotelian
essentialism compatible with Davidson's basic thinking, many
metaphysical problems are not very deep. Likewise, many
philosophers' claims that common sense needs to be modified are
unfounded. He argues further that a proper consideration of
questions of logical form clarifies and illuminates meta-ethical
questions. Although the analyses and arguments he gives are often
at odds with those at which Davidson arrived, they apply the
central Davidsonian insights about semantics, understanding, and
interpretation.
