David Papineau

Now the Olympics 2024 are here, many thanks to Stuart Clark for circulating a reminder of my book Knowing the Score, which takes a philosophical look at sporting themes. (I wrote it a couple of years ago as a break from my day job writing about consciousness, quantum mechanics, causation, and other such pressing metaphysical matters.)

As I said to Stuart, my contemporaries at school are just the readers I had in mind while writing the book. I'd love to hear any reactions from you.

Here it is on Amazon: https://t.ly/kPp8f

And here are a couple of the reviews:
