Introduction
In Incommensurability, Incomparability, and Practical Reason. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. pp. 1-34 (1997)
Abstract
This paper is the introduction to the volume. It gives an argumentative view of the philosophical landscape concerning incommensurability and incomparability. It argues that incomparability, not incommensurability, is the important phenomenon on which philosophers should be focusing and that the arguments for the existence of incomparability are so far not compelling.Author's Profile
