Truth and Other Enigmas by Michael Dummett
This collection of Dummett's philosophical essays, spanning more than 20 years, ranges in topic from time to the philosophy of mathematics, but is unified by a steady philosophical outlook. All of these essays are informed by Dummett's concern with metaphysical questions and his belief that the correct approach to them is via the theory of meaning.
Dummett is one of the outstanding philosophers of the present time.. The present volume should consolidate and enhance this reputation... His work demands exceptionally close reading, but also repays it. * The Observer *
The interest [of these essays] is heightened by their being assembled together in a single volume, which gives us a clearer picture of Dummett's philosophy than we were likely to have beforehand... This book will be argued with often and in many places in the years to come. It is a measure of the importance of his work. * Philosophical Books *
These writings...explore the theory of meaning as pivotally important for the analysis of truth and...traditional metaphysical questions... Dummett's work is technical but always lucid, and it is of fundamental importance. * Choice *
