Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: Two Tribes -- The Metaphilosophy of Common Sense -- 'Evolutionary Argument' andthe Metaphilosophy of Common Sense -- Towardsa Taxonomy of Philosophical Error -- Theology's TrojanHorse -- Metaphysical Realism as a Pre-condition of Visual Perception -- Semantic Anti-Realism and the Dummettian Reductio -- Eliminating Eliminative Materialism -- Freedom and Responsibility -- On theExistence of Moral Facts.

How should one go about conducting the business of philosophy? And what should we make of theparadoxical conclusions defended by the greatand the good of the discipline? In this book it is argued that, contrary to common practice, philosophical paradoxes and counter-intuitive theses ought tobe taken as clear indications that errors of one form or another have been committed. The author presents a new account, defense, and illustration of this meta-philosophy of common sense, drawing on a variety of sources including the work of Aristotle, Reid, Moore, Ryle, Austin and Grice, current thinking in evolutionary biology and psychology, as well as an historically informed view of the origins of the 'spirit of modernity' so clearly exemplified by Descartes. This approach to philosophy isthen illustrated in a series of studies on topical issues ranging from metaphysics to ethics.
