Preface
These essays, written over the past few years, do not form a natural
unity, but they do form three groups, corresponding to my main philo-
sophical concerns during the period: (1) the relations between private
and public life, especially with regard to sexual privacy; (2) the right
form of a liberal outlook in moral and political theory; (3) the under-
standing of objective reality in the face of various forms of subjectivism.
Those concerns found expression equally in independent essays and in
book reviews, so I have included both. The long ﬁnal essay on the mind-
body problem stands a bit apart, but as a ﬂagrant example of metaphys-
ical realism, I include it in the third category.
I have revised nearly all the essays to some extent.
