EDITING

Editor-in-Chief, The Princeton Series in the Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy -- a series of state-of-the-art books on important areas of research in contemporary analytic philosophy, written by leading experts in their fields. Each book is a high-level introduction to advanced thinking in an area. Although major questions and approaches are covered, the books are neither neutral literature surveys, nor highly specialized contributions filling gaps in already well-known research programs. Instead, each presents the author’s unifying vision of a field or topic as it is exists today – its recent history and leading themes, its significant new developments, and its most important unanswered questions. The series premise is that with so much specialized work being done on so many topics, there is a need to articulate synoptic views of active research areas, with an eye to developing common understandings and charting future progress. The books are designed to appeal to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, to provide specialists with new ideas and unifying perspectives, and to offer comprehensible explanations of neighboring fields to other working professionals.

In addition to creating the series, choosing the authors and topics, and reviewing the manuscripts, I wrote the book in the Philosophy of Language. Other published books in the series include Philosophical Logic, Philosophy of Law, Truth, Epistemology, Philosophy of Physics, Philosophy of Biology, and Philosophy of Mathematics. Books under contract and currently in progress include Philosophy of Natural Science, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Decision Theory, Ethics, Metaethics, Moral Responsibility, Philosophy of Religion, and Moral Psychology and Agency.
