Contemporary Philosophy

The list author says:
	"Philosophy of logic. Maudlin on the relation of truth to reality, the normative role of ungroundedness, and a classical philosophical paradox--the liar. Wondeful stuff."

The list author says:
	"Metaphysics. Everything by Lewis was exceptional: but this is currently my favourite. Counterfactuals, Laws, Chance, Decisions---contemporary reductionism in action."

The list author says:
	"Normative ethics. Self-interested rationality self-undermining; personal identity doesn't matter; the repugnant conclusion. Mandatory reading."

The list author says:
	"Metaethics. Fabulously clear laying out of problems in meta-ethics, plus Smith's distinctive internalist proposed resolution."

The list author says:
	"Philosophy of Science. Statistical mechanics---the bridge between micro and macro."

The list author says:
	"Philosophy of Politics. So much good stuff---though where is the theory of just establishment of property rights?"

The list author says:
	"Philosophy of mathematics. The "Science without numbers" project."

The list author says:
	"Aesthetics. An analysis of representation art, taking games of make-believe as the starting point."

The list author says:
	"Philosophy of language. To convince you that the word "if" is at the heart of everything..."

The list author says:
	"Metasemantics. It kicked off the "Davidsonic boom".  Each paper is a tightly-wound gem."
