On Immigration and Refugees
The philosopher Michael Dummett was one of the sharpest and most prominent commentators and campaigners for the fair treatment of immigrants and refugees in Britain and Europe. On Immigration and Refugees was the only book he wrote on the topic and among one of the most eloquent and important reflections on the subject to have been published in many years. Exploring the confused and often highly unjust and racist thinking about immigration, Dumme…
Montgomery (and A. Cooke)
Sir Michael Dummett's essay "Montgomery (and A. Cooke)," written in 1956, is here published for the first time, with an introduction by Robert Bernasconi outlining how it came to be written and why it was not published at the time of its original completion
Facts and Propositions
This chapter begins with an explanation of facts and propositions. It considers the alternative view of Frege, namely that facts, though genuine entities, inhabit a quite special sector of reality. Frege's views are compared to that of Prior, who held that a proposition may be true at certain times and false at others. Finally, the concept of temporal indicators is briefly analysed.

Thought and Reality
"In this short book Michael Dummett sets out his views about some of the deepest questions in philosophy. The fundamental question of metaphysics is: what does reality consist of? To answer this, Dummett holds, it is necessary to say what kinds of fact obtain, and what constitutes their holding good. Facts correspond with true propositions, or true thoughts: when we know which propositions, or thoughts, in general, are true, we shall know what fa…

La justification de la déduction (II)
La justification de la déduction (I)
A partir d'une critique de l'analyse de l'inference deductive chez Mill, l'A. examine les differentes theories semantiques de la signification qui peuvent constituer une justification a la systematisation de l'inference et l'argumentations deductives, d'une part, et propose la notion d'extension conservative comme solution au probleme linguistique de la reconnaissance de la verite, d'autre part
Truth from the Constructive Standpoint
Language and Truth
According to one view, it is as absurd to explain the notion of truth in general as it is to explain the notion of winning the game for an arbitrary game. Knowing what it takes to win the game is inseparable from knowing what the game consists in. Far from showing the absence of a philosophical problem about truth, this argument establishes the link between the concept of truth and the concept of meaning. The meaning of a sentence should be given…
Realism and Anti‐Realism
Disputes about realism should be construed as disputes not about a class of entities, but about the truth‐value of the statements in a given class. For what reality consists in is not determined just by what objects there are, but by what propositions hold good: the world is the totality of facts, not of things. However, the rejection of bivalence is not a sufficient ground for rejecting realism. A genuine rejection of realism amounts to the view…

The history of card games
Playing cards were introduced into Europe from the Islamic world in the second half of the 14th century, forming packs with essentially the same structure as now, but with different suit-signs and court figures. Trick-taking games were certainly among those games which were introduced with the cards used to play them; but trumps and bidding were later European inventions. The former of these ideas derives from the games played with the Tarot pack…

M o[cTAGGART'S celebrated argument to prove that time unreal runs as follows. There are two kinds of temporal fact concerning events: (a) that an event M or future; (b) that an event M before, at the same time as, or after another event N. Now facts of kind (a) cannot be reduced to facts of kind (b); and if there were no facts of kind (a), there would not genuinely be any time at all. For time essentially involves change: but change comes in only…

Oxford Philosophy
Mr Gellner's now celebrated little book is an attack on a philosophical school, centred in Oxford, called 'linguistic philosophy'; in assessing it we have therefore to ask, 'Is there such a school?' The idea that there is, of course, is not original to Gellner. Professor Flew, for example, has long proclaimed the existence of such a school, membership of which apparently depends upon nomination by Professor Flew. Now it is certainly the case that…
