| Abstract
|
:
|
Charles Travis investigates a puzzling problem in philosophy. Thought must be about a world independent of us. But our capacities for thought shape thought's objects. So it can seem that what is true, and what is not, cannot be independent of us. 'Objectivity and the Parochial' suggests how we might resolve this paradox
