NOTES

1 Two recent discussions of this issue are, however, overlooked by Sacks. First, there is no mention of Foster, John, The Case for Idealism (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1982).Google Scholar A more serious omission is the lack of a discussion of Michael Dummett's suggestion that metaphysical debates are, at root, debates about the sort of meaning possessed by various classes of sentences.
