To tell the truth, I just posted an essay on the truth. Many philosophers have written about Truth over the years, but truth is just a tool, a trivial bookkeeping device.

What if the Frege–Geach problem isn’t a problem at all?
Analytic philosophy built a logical puzzle by assuming moral language works like empirical language. My Language Insufficiency Hypothesis says that’s a category error. Moral predicates live in different conceptual terrain entirely.

Putting aside quibbles about whether #PhilipKitcher's critique of #analyticPhilosophy is novel, I found #TimothyWilliamson's critique to be the kind of #romanticism, #anecdote, and unsupported speculation that's dissatisfying and deficient to empirically-oriented #philosophers like #Kitcher (see my #marginalia).
If I were #Kitcher, #Williamson's critique may not provoke a single qualm about my latest #book; it may only reinforce my concern about contemporary analytic #philosophy/#philosophers.
