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.

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.

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.
