This short series of Gifford Lectures from veteran analytic British philosopher Michael Dummett is both an excellent introduction to Dummett’s own work as well as an entry level work on some of the main concerns of British philosophy within the analytic tradition – particularly reflecting the turn away from a focus on philosophy of language and towards metaphysics. Written in Dummett’s typically clear and precise style, the book consists of eight chapters, splitting the four lectures in two.
