Description: Relativism and Reality by Robert Kirk Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An examination of the philosophical tradition surrounding the question of reality and relativism, the belief that reality somehow depends on what we think. The author outlines and explores the myths and theories about reality. Publisher Description From the early Greeks to todays leading philosophers, the question of how our beleifs and theories relate to reality has been the cause of much fervent debate. Realists claim that reality is independent of our thinking, even if it is up to us how we think about it. Realtivists disagree and hold that what there is, and the thruth about it, depends on our point of view. Which is right? Is there such a thing as an independent thruth? Can we ever capture it in thought and language? Relativism and Reality: A contemporary introduction examines these crucial questions in a clear and accessible manner which will appeal to all who come to philosophy for the first time. Robert Kirk examines the thought of some of the most influential thinkers of the century, with discussions of Wittgensteins ideas on language-games, Quines holism, Dummetts anti-realism and Rortys postmodern pragmatism. The result is a stimulating guide to fascinating and important theories about the relations between thought and reality and will be essential reading for all who seek a thorough yet accessible introduction to one of the most enduring topics in philosophy. Author Biography Robert Kirk is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nottingham.
