Index
Barry Stroud is Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of
Philosophy in the University of California, Berkeley. He is a
member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a
Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, and the author of Hume
(1977), The Significance of Philosophical Scepticism (OUP, 1984),
The Quest for Reality (OUP, 2000), and two collections of essays,
Understanding Human Knowledge (OUP, 2000) and Meaning,
Understanding, and Practice (OUP, 2000).
[we] still have with us the problem of understanding ourselves and our relation to the world in a distinctively philosophical way. As a guide to that form of understanding, and the difficulties involved in trying to achieve it, Stroud is without peer.
