Peacocke Review

Here’s a _very early_ draft of my review of Christopher Peacocke’s _The Realm of Reason_. Comments, criticism, etc welcomed!

bq. “The Realm of Reason review”:http://brian.weatherson.org/peacocke.pdf

*UPDATES*: Three things I didn’t mention in the first pass through this note.

* This is for the _Times Literary Supplement_, which might explain some of the stylistic and content choices. (Or might not.)
* Much of the material on moral beliefs at the end is due to conversations with Sarah McGrath and Ralph Wedgwood. In a different format those would have been credited, but I don’t think the TLS does ‘thanks’ footnotes!
* Gilbert Harman also has a review of Peacocke’s book online. It is available “here”:http://www.princeton.edu/~harman/Papers/Peacocke.pdf.

*SECOND UPDATE*: As Martin Lin pointed out in comments, I got Descartes all wrong in the first draft of this. I’ve now updated the draft to make the suggestions Martin suggested. (If his comments don’t look like they match the draft currently online, this is why – the version he commented on really made the mistake he said it did.)
