       index. 
505 0  Overview : the varieties of conventionalism -- Origins : 
       Poincaré and Duhem on convention -- Relativity : from 
       "experience and geometry" to "geometry and experience" -- 
       Implicit definition -- "Unlimited possibilities" : Carnap 
       on convention -- Metaphor and argument : Quine on 
       convention -- Wittgenstein : from conventionalism to 
       iconoclasm. 
520    "The daring idea that convention - human decision - lies 
       at the root of so-called necessary truths, on the one hand,
       and much of empirical science, on the other, reverberates 
       through twentieth-century philosophy, constituting a 
       revolution comparable to Kant's Copernican revolution. 
       Conventionalism is the first comprehensive study of this 
       radical turn. One of the conclusions it reaches is that 
       the term 'truth by convention', widely held to epitomize 
       conventionalism, reflects a misunderstanding that has led 
       to the association of conventionalism with relativism and 
       postmodernism. Conventionalism, this book argues, did not 
       contend that truths can be stipulated, but rather, that 
       stipulations are often confused with truths. Their efforts
       were thus directed toward disentangling truth and 
       convention, not reducing truth to convention."--Jacket.
