Knowing the Score: What Sports Can Teach Us About Philosophy (And What Philosophy Can Teach Us About Sports) by David Papineau
I won this in a GOODREADS giveaway - What a witty book! This is a perfect "Fathers Day" gift for that intellectual (you know who I'm talking about!) sports fan in your life.
An excellent introduction to technical Analytical Philosophy.
The book is divided into three parts,
a) Sets and Numbers
b) Analyticity, A prioricity and Necessity
c) Nature and uses of Probability
My favorite chapter was chapter 6 -–Naming and Necessity.
I learnt about Scope Distinctions, Rigid Designations.
Where else would you learn these distinctions?
There's a lot more on each topic.
