Simon Blackburn presents a selection of his philosophical essays
from 1995 to 2010. He offers engaging and illuminating discussions
of various problems which arise when such familiar notions as
representation, truth, reason, and assertion are applied in the
sphere of practical thought. It is puzzling how our thinking gets
to grip with such things as values and norms. Blackburn explores
how we can try to understand what we say in terms of what we are
doing when we say it. He investigates how propositions interact
with linguistic expressions whose primary function is identified in
terms of actions performed in expressing commitments with them,
when those commitments are thought of in practical rather than
descriptive terms. He broadens his investigation from semantic
questions to wider issues of pluralism, pragmatism, philosophy of
mind, and the nature of practical reasoning.
