Books by William G. (William Rand Kenan Lycan

William G. Lycan offers an epistemology of philosophy itself, a partial method for philosophical inquiry. In sum, he advocates a picture of philosophy as a very wide explanatory reflective equilibrium incorporating common sense, science, and our firmest intuitions on any topic.

William G. Lycan offers his approach to the debate among philosophers and logicians about the best way to analyse and understand conditional sentences. Lycan attends not just to the semantics of such sentences, but equally to their syntax, making use of insights from linguistic theory. 'Real Conditionals' is Lycan's view.
