EDITING
Editor-in-Chief, The Princeton Series in the Foundations of
Contemporary Philosophy -- a series of state-of-the-art books
on the most 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 surveys of the
literature, nor highly specialized contributions filling gaps
in already well-known research programs. Instead, each
presents the author’s own unifying vision of a field or topic
as it is exists today – its recent history and leading
themes, its most exciting new developments, and its most
important unanswered questions. The premise of the series is
that with so much specialized work being done on so many
different topics, there is a need to articulate synoptic
views of active areas of research, 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 the new ideas
and unifying perspectives of the leaders of their own fields,
and to offer compact and comprehensible explanations of
neighboring fields to other working professionals.

In addition creating the series, choosing the authors and
topics, and reviewing the manuscripts, I wrote the book in
the philosophy of language. Other books in the series include
philosophical logic, modality, truth, vagueness, metaphysics,
epistemology, philosophy of physics, philosophy of biology,
decision theory, philosophy and economics, normative ethics,
meta-ethics, political philosophy, moral psychology, free
will and moral responsibility, philosophy of mind, philosophy
of psychology and cognitive science, philosophy of law,
aesthetics, and philosophy of religion.
