ABSTRACT

In the preceding chapters our aim has been to introduce some of the main aspects of Nelson Goodman’s philosophy. We have occasionally mentioned criticisms of Goodman’s positions, when we thought that this was useful for a better understanding of his views. What we have tried to do is limit these critical remarks, however, so that they do not distract from the book’s main line of argument, namely that Goodman’s views on topics as diverse as induction and aesthetic expression are interrelated in interesting ways.
