Review
"A delight....Challenging and extremely interesting. It will, I am certain, provoke a good deal of exciting philosophical discussion."--Times Literary Supplement
"Well worth reading for the light it sheds on an enormous range of issues. Believe me, you'll get more out of it than you think."--The Modern Schoolman
"There are so many carefully delineated positions representing the views of classical and contemporary authors on the conceptual difficulties posed by pragmatic paradoxes, that working through Sorensen's chapters one has the sense of a complete map of the intellectual terrain."--Journal of Speculative Philosophy
"Sorensen's prose style is a marvel: some passages made me laugh out loud, others amazed me by the erudition they reflected....Blindspots is the remarkable product of a brilliant young philosopher at the height of his powers."--Nous

What Moore discovered was a species of blindspots: consistent propositions that cannot be rationally accepted by certain individuals even though they might be true. In this book, Professor Sorenson aims to provide a unified solution to a large family of philosophical puzzles and paradoxes througha study of blindspots . He devotes special attention to revealing their role in 'slippery slope' reasoning. An attempt to provide a unified solution to a number of philosophical puzzles through a study of blindspots, ie consistent propositions that cannot be rationally accepted by certain individuals even if they are true.
