Tetralogue : I'm right, you're wrong

Abstract

For those new to philosophy, 'Tetralogue' is a marvellous way into the subject. For those who are old hands, it neatly poses serious questions about truth and falsity, relativism and dogma.--Dust jacket flap. Abstract: Four people with radically different views meet on a train and talk about what they believe. Each starts off convinced that he or she is right, then doubts creep in. Timothy Williamson uses a fictional conversation to explore the philosophical debate over whether one point of view can be right and the other wrong. He invites the reader to decide.
