The papers, arranged in chronological order of composition, are concerned with such philosophic essentials as words and their significance; being and pretending; facts, knowledge, actions, possibilities, and the nature of truth. They all reflect their author's conviction that, more often than not, "dogmatists require prodding." The editors of these papers were responsible as well for the editing of J. L. Austin's longer writings and lectures.
