16Philosophy as a Humanistic Discipline (edited book)Princeton University Press. 2006.What can--and what can't--philosophy do? What are its ethical risks--and its possible rewards? How does it differ from science? In Philosophy as a Humanistic Discipline, Bernard Williams addresses these questions and presents a striking vision of philosophy as fundamentally different from science in its aims and methods even though there is still in philosophy "something that counts as getting it right." Written with his distinctive combination of rigor, imagination, depth, and humanism, the boo…Read more

15The Human A Priori: Essays on How We Make Sense in Philosophy, Ethics, and MathematicsOxford University Press. 2023.The Human A Priori is a collection of essays by A. W. Moore, one of them previously unpublished and the rest all revised.

Parts II, III, and IV deal with what are often thought to be the three great exemplars of the systematic pursuit of such sense-making: philoso…Read more

8Points of ViewOxford University Press UK. 1997.'superb' -Tom Stoneham, Oxford MagazineA. W. Moore argues in this bold and unusual book that it is possible to think about the world from no point of view. His argument involves discussion of a very wide range of fundamental philosophical issues, including the nature of persons, the subject-matter of mathematics, realism and anti-realism, value, the inexpressible, and God. The result is a powerful critique of our own finitude. 'imaginative, original, and ambitious' Robert Brandom, Times Literary…Read more

5Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy of MathematicsIn Hans-Johann Glock & John Hyman (eds.), A Companion to Wittgenstein, Wiley-blackwell. 2017.The philosophy of mathematics was of colossal importance to Wittgenstein. Its problems had a peculiarly strong hold on him; and he seems to have thought that it was in addressing these problems that he produced his greatest work. However robust the distinction between the calculus and the surrounding prose, the prose may infect the calculus; or the prose may infect how we couch the calculus. Yet Wittgenstein's writings in the philosophy of mathematics stand in a curious relation to this self‐ass…Read more
