Modality, Morality and Belief: Essays in Honor of Ruth Barcan MarcusWalter Sinnott-Armstrong, Diana Raffman, Nicholas Asher Cambridge University Press, 2009 M01 29 - 292 pages Modality, morality and belief are among the most controversial topics in philosophy today, and few philosophers have shaped these debates as deeply as Ruth Barcan Marcus. Inspired by her work, a distinguished group of philosophers explore these issues, refine and sharpen arguments and develop new positions on such topics as possible worlds, moral dilemmas, essentialism, and the explanation of actions by beliefs. Together, this collection honors one of the most rigorous and iconoclastic of philosophical pioneers. |
