| Summary: | Beneath metaphysical problems there often lies a conflict between what is truth and what is believed to be truth. Dr Nathan provides a general account of the resolution of this conflict as a philosophical objective, showing that there are ways of thinking it through systematically with a view to resolving or alleviating it. The author also studies a set of inter-related conflicts about the freedom and the reality of the will. He shows how difficult it is to find a freedom either of decision or of action which is both an object of reflective desire and an object of rational belief.
