9 Acknowledgements I don t believe I have ever invented a line of thinking, I have always taken one over from someone else. Wittgenstein 1980, CV, p. 19e As an undergraduate at St. Andrews, one of my first impressions of philosophy was that it seemed only to encourage interminable disputes that permitted no resolution. However, I had been attending lectures on practical ethics in the Moral Philosophy department. When I made my complaint to the then Chairman of Philosophy in the hope of changing subjects altogether he advised a more moderate course, switching to the study of Logic and Metaphysics. Although this made me much happier, it is not until writing this book that I have had the opportunity to return to the question of why certain fundamental issues in philosophy have to be approached in a particular way, giving the issue the proper and detailed attention it deserves. Ironically, as the final chapter of this book suggests, I now understand that seeing this in the right light should cause one to re-evaluate what is going on, and what role philosophers might play, in debates on important matters such as ethics. My greatest debt of thanks is owed to my to wife Farah and boys, Alex, Rais and Emerson, who have been unfairly robbed of my time while I have been writing this book. It has interrupted weekends and encroached on family holidays for far too long. I am grateful to all of the following philosophers, whose comments have helped to refine my thinking on many important issues: Gary Banham, Ignar Brinck, Paul Coates, Dan Fitzpatrick, Phil Hutchinson, Brendan Larvor, John Lippitt, Richard Menary, Peter and Daniele Moyal-Sharrock, Rupert Read, Anthony Rudd, Jane Singleton, David Simpson, Barry Stocker, Karsten Stueber, Jamie Turnbull, and those students who took my Language, Thought and Reality course in Special thanks goes to Barry Curtis for his insightful and speedy comments on every chapter during the final stages. I am grateful to the audiences and organisers of the International Wittgenstein Symposium, Kirchberg, 2001, for feedback on material that has become part of Chapter 6. I am similarly grateful for the invitations to present material relating to this project at the University of Wales, Swansea in 1998 and University of Wales, Lampeter in ix

10 x Acknowledgements I would also like to express my gratitude to various editors and publishers for allowing me to re-use, rework and expand some of my previously published material in the composition of some of the chapters of this book. Chapter 3 makes use of, and builds on, the basic argument from my section of the paper, written jointly with John Lippitt, Making Sense of Nonsense: Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein, Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society Vol. XCVIII, Part III, This material is reprinted by courtesy of the Editor of the Aristotelian Society Chapter 4 incorporates material from Consciousness Demystified: A Wittgensteinian Critique of Dennett s Project, The Monist, 78 (4) Chapter 5 is a slightly revised version of my paper Was the Later Wittgenstein a Transcendental Idealist?, in Current Issues in Idealism (eds. P. Coates and D. Hutto) Bristol: Thoemmes Press Finally, I give thanks to the University of Hertfordshire for its enduring support and encouragement in my research projects. Thanks too to Jen Nelson of Palgrave Macmillan, who, in taking over at the just the right time, helped to see this project to its conclusion.
