The Nature of God: An Inquiry into Divine Attributes.

items whose existence and nature do not depend on minds. Grossmann develops his empiricism and realism by interacting with prominent figures from the history of philosophy. He devotes chapters, for example, to Descartes, Berkeley, Reid, Kant, and Brentano on perception, and to Kant, Bolzano, Mill, and Frege on mathematical knowledge. These historical chapters, typically concise, clear, and illuminating, are followed by systematic chapters on the relevant philosophical issues. The book falls into three main parts: (1) Knowledge of the External World: Perception, (2) Knowledge of Our Minds: Introspection, and (3) Mathematical Knowledge: Perception Again. Each part contributes to a wide-ranging defense of Grossmanns fourth way, a way that goes against the grain of much contemporary epistemology.

Omniscience and Knowledge De Se Et De Praesenti

In class as well as over coffee, hence on blackboards and on napkins, Ed Gettier is always exceptionally clear and insightful on matters of scope, reference, and indexicality. Thus, as a former student of Ed’s, I am delighted that my discussion of some aspects of these topics as they arise in connection with the concept of omniscience appears in a volume in his honor.
