Description
This collection of essays is presented to David Wiggins to mark his 60th birthday, and its publication coincides with his accession to the Wykeham Chair of Logic at Oxford. The contributors, who include both long-established and younger writers, take up some of the many important philosophical debates on which Wiggins has made an impact. Their chosen topics range from ancient philosophy to contemporary questions in ethics, metaphysics and the theory of meaning. A feature of the volume is that it contains Wiggins's comments on each of the papers, and so offers a useful guide to his present thinking.
