Possibility of Philosophical Understanding

Barry Stroud's work has had a profound impact on a very wide array of philosophical topics including epistemological skepticism the nature of logical necessity the interpretation of Hume the interpretation of Wittgenstein the possibility of transcendental arguments and the metaphysical status of color and value. And yet there has heretofore been no book-length treatment of his work. The current collection aims to redress this gap with 13 essays on Stroud's work by a diverse group of contributors including some of his most distinguished interlocutors and promising recent students. All but one essay is new to this volume.
