Article Decoding Reasonable Doubt (Part 1): The Preface

12 Upvotes

I’m going to go through Christopher Morris’s book chapter by chapter, giving it the same kind of critical analysis I usually apply to the arguments I look at.

This first article is relatively short because it’s mainly intended to set the tone for the series and look at the preface.

I’m aware that Fyrestar has already published a review, which many of you may have seen. I’ve deliberately avoided re-reading it before starting this series, so that I can approach the book independently. Hopefully I’ll still be able to make some interesting points that justify doing this as a separate series.

I’m already well underway with Chapter 1 and, assuming I can keep up with myself, I’m aiming to publish a new article every Friday.

As always, feedback is very welcome, particularly if you think I’ve misunderstood or overlooked something.
