Notes

  1. Donovan and Adams (2007).

  2. I do not believe that any serious philosophical investigation or thesis can escape being metaphysical; for insofar as metaphysics is characterized as the investigation and examination of the nature of being, the results of which provide us with accounts of the nature of the phenomena investigated, “doing metaphysics” is simply unavoidable for philosophers. Moreover, it is metaphysical investigation, when properly performed and understood, that supplies those of us who are interested in fighting oppressive social and political arrangements—including Lawlor—with necessary ammunition for engaging in such battles.
