Starmaking: Realism, Anti-Realism, and Irrealism

Summary: guide to our worlds
Review: I like this book. That was probably the first book of analytical philosophy I've read in my life. And I think it really can be your first book to. It gives a real (though this word may seem suspicious in the context of Goodman's ideas) sense of a convergency of epistemology and ontology in today's philosophy. In spite of typical 'dry' image of philosophy this book brings you back to human reality lost a couple of centuries ago by generous efforts of Descartes et al. It's the best clear and concise introduction into views of Nelson Goodman, after which your reading of his major book, "Ways of Worldmaking", will be even more pleasant.
