Contrastivism in Philosophy cover

Contrastivism can be applied to a variety of problems within philosophy, and as such, it can be coherently seen as a unified movement. This volume brings together state-of-the-art research on the contrastive treatment of philosophical concepts and questions, including knowledge, belief, free will, moral luck, Bayesian confirmation theory, causation, and explanation.

'Overall, the individual contributions to this anthology should be very interesting to those working on or with the relevant forms of contrastivism, to those who work on contrastivism about some G and wonder how contrastivism about some F might work, and finally to a more general readership who wants to find out what contrastivism is and what one can do with it. The general topic is certainly important and worth the attention. It will be interesting to see what further developments and applications (in aesthetics? Practical reasoning?) contrastivists will propose and to see more about how contrastivism compares with contrasting, alternative views.'Peter Baumann, Swarthmore College, USA in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
