Paul Horwich (philosopher)

Paul Horwich is a philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of language, logic, and metaphysics. He is particularly associated with "minimalism," a view that knowledge and truth are simpler than traditionally thought, focusing on how our language and concepts relate to reality. Horwich emphasizes clarity and coherence in understanding philosophical problems, avoiding unnecessary complexity. His approach often involves analyzing how words and ideas connect, aiming to explain knowledge and meaning in a straightforward, consistent manner without resorting to elaborate assumptions.
