The papers in this collection discuss the central questions about
the connections between language, reality and human understanding.
The complex relations between accounts of meaning and facts about
ordinary speakers' understanding of their language are examined so
as to illuminate the philosophical character of the connections
between language and reality. The collection as a whole is a
thematically unified treatment of some of the most central
questions within contemporary philosophy of language.
Scepticism about morality is as old as morality itself.
Philosophers have attacked the singular institution of morality,
but have these sceptics correctly identified their target? In this
book a descriptive metaphysics of morals is presented, revealing
how philosophical critics have consistently misidentified the
institution of morality. Mark Platts' first book "Ways of Meaning"
argued within the context of the philosophy of language that a
realist account of moral thought was possible; "Moral Realities"
defends the same possibility from the perspective of the philosophy
of psychology. Platts engages the classical moral philosophies of
Hume, Mandeville and Nietzsche, and tackles the powerful arguments
of the contemporary moral relativists. His critique of the existing
philosophical notions of desire and value enables him to clarify
both what morality is and what it is not. This book should be of
interest to advanced students and teachers of philosophy.
First published in 1991. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

David Fairclough started just 92 games in an eight year Liverpool
career yet his standing as one of the most famous goalscorers in
the club's illustrious history is without question. Another 66
appearances as substitute boosted his Anfield career total and it
was for his role as Liverpool's number 12 for which he is best
remembered. Fairclough was, and always will be, the original
'Supersub'. Yet, it is a moniker he loved and loathed in equal
measure and one he felt ultimately held him back in his career. In
this refreshingly candid autobiography Fairclough relives the highs
and lows of a colourful career. He recalls his meteoric rise to
stardom and the priceless contribution he made to the Liverpool's
remarkable success under Bob Paisley. From his key role against St
Etienne on arguably Anfield's greatest night, through a career that
witnessed 19 major trophies, Fairclough lifts the lid on what life
was really like for him in the Anfield dressing room of that time,
his often fraught relationship with Paisley and explains the
psychological burden of being cast as 'the outsider looking in'. In
an evocative collaboration with journalist Mark Platt, Fairclough's
story is at once a compelling insight into one of the greatest
teams in football history, populated by the great players whom
David played with and against, and the gripping and
characteristically honest memoir of one of Liverpool's most popular
sons.
Winning eighteen league championships, four European Cups, a
Champions League title, seven FA Cups and eight League Cups makes
Liverpool Football Club one of the most successful football clubs
in England. This is the football club touched by the greatest
managers, the club, indeed, where the cult of the manager began.
Liverpool had been great before but not for some time until Billy
Shankly arrived, ordaining it the original People's Club because of
the passion of its supporters. Liverpool proceeded to dominate the
European scene under Bob Paisley, the quietly ruthless genius.
Kenny Dalglish - considered the club's greatest player - later
turned Liverpool into the country's most stylish team when he took
charge of the team. Dalglish might stand in his own league but many
other greats have touched the famous This is Anfield sign wearing
Liverpool red: from Ian Callaghan, the club's record appearance
holder, to Phil Neal, the club's most decorated player, to Graeme
Souness and Steven Gerrard, arguably Liverpool's most iconic
captains. It was often thought the beauty of Liverpool's brilliance
was the simplicity behind it and yet, few rivals were able to crack
the Liverpool code.As Liverpool enters its 125th year, The Red
Journey: An Oral History of Liverpool Football Club tells the story
of the club through the voices of the people who made the
institution one of the most revered in football.
