This volume contains the complete correspondence of two of the leading analytic philosophers of the late twentieth century, David Armstrong and David Lewis. Comprising some 345 letters, including letters to and from third parties, this correspondence is at once a deep philosophical resource shedding new light on the philosophical development of two of the great late twentieth-century philosophers, and a record of the development of a philosophical friendship. The letters are valuable, not only for the light they shed on the background to many of Armstrong's and Lewis' major publications, but also for what they show us about the practice of philosophy. The correspondence is a window into both the philosophical content of two leading thinkers' minds and an exemplar of how philosophy of the highest level can be done.
Peter Anstey is Director of the Western Civilisation Program at the Australian Catholic University. He specialises in early modern philosophy with a focus on individual philosophers such as Locke and Boyle as well as broader themes such as experimental philosophy. He was a student of David Armstrong and is Armstrong's Literary Executor.
A.R.J. Fisher is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University. He works on analytic metaphysics, especially the metaphysics of properties, time, and modality. He also specialises in the history of analytic philosophy, with an interest in the history of metaphysics in the twentieth century. He has spent several years working closely on Lewis' archive.
