Books by Simon Blackburn

One of the world's leading thinkers on truth explains what it is, the different ways of approaching and understanding it, and why it matters.

Simon Blackburn tackles the key questions in philosophy.

In the end Dr Blackburn produces a rationale for belief in certain short-term predictions based on his reinterpretation of the classical principle of indifference. He claims that a justification for induction can be found along the lines he has suggested and must indeed be found there if anywhere.

Provides a comprehensive introduction to the major philosophical theories attempting to explain the workings of language.
