Additional information

Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the Pacific North West Philosophy Conference, the Western Canadian Philosophical Association and the Canadian Philosophical Association. I am deeply grateful to my commentators on the latter two occasions, Wesley Cooper and Barry Hoffmaster respectively, for invaluable criticism. I have also profited from comments by and discussions with Jerome Bickenbach, Richard Bronaugh, David Copp, Marsha Hanen, Patrick McDonald, Stanley Paulson, Lois Pineau, Iain Ramsay, David Richards and Richard Wasserstrom.
