Reviews
The essays in this volume are the products of forty years of careful and creative philosophical thought. These wonderful essays enrich our understanding of central philosophical topics such as truth, meaning, experience, and knowledge. And they are an excellent gateway to Hills philosophical vision. * Anil Gupta, University of Pittsburgh *
In addition to collecting deservedly influential papers by Hill on truth, reference, type materialism, imaginability, pain, skepticism, and knowledge, this book contains new papers on a range of topics, including conceptual representation, phenomenal consciousness, visual experience, modal knowledge, and the a priori.In each of these new contributions, Hill proposes fresh and well motivated solutions to large-scale philosophical problems. * Brian McLaughlin, Rutgers University *
There is much to admire and much to be learned in the fascinating essays in this collection. Alongside his exciting new work on perception, concepts, and modality, Christopher HIll has compiled many of his major earlier essays, adding postscripts to place them in perspective. Taken together, these essays provide penetrating and insightful analyses of perception, concepts, knowledge, truth, and the mind-body problem. * Susanna Siegel, Harvard University *
