This is a selection of the philosophical papers I have published, together with two new pieces and a couple of additional notes to older material. I have left some papers out on grounds of subject matter (what is here all relates to two or three themes), some on grounds of what I now think of them, and some for both reasons. The ones included I have tried so far as possible to leave as they were, but I have made one or two minor revisions, put in one or two footnotes of cross-reference, and done a limited amount of stylistic tinkering.

After some hesitation I have decided to include two critical notices of books, one of Strawson's Individuals, one of Shoemaker's Self-Knowledge and Self-Identity, even though the first, particularly, has very much the form of a book review. I have done this because both these books very much retain their interest, and because points raised in the notices relate closely to material in other papers. I have more or less cut down the notices to their argumentative content; if some expressions of praise have disappeared in the process, this is not because I have retracted them. The Shoemaker notice has also lost its first section, which now seems to me to make a lot of fuss about not much.
