Summary
Each essay is original and appears here for the first time. They are fresh, illuminating, and cover an eclectic range of topics, including rational choice theory, Frege scholarship and interpretation, the nature of truth, the inexpressible and the unknowable, and fundamental ontology - all topics of central importance in philosophy and all dear to the heart of Hans Herzberger.
