Description: Is philosophy a unique discipline, or are its methods more like those of other sciences than many philosophers think? Timothy Williamson explains clearly and concisely how contemporary philosophers think and work, and reflects on their powers and limitations.
Review Quotes: "This short book exemplifies Williamson's approach to philosophy: it is clear, igorous and unafraid of confrontation with opposing ideas. For the general reader it is, like his earlier Tetralogue, an excellent invitation to philosophy: provocative but considerate, exacting yet encouraging." -- Jonathan Egid, New Humanist
