The Value of Life
The Rise and Fall of a Scientific Research Programme
Research on the monetary value of saving life has produced nonsensical results, yet the field thrives. An almost forgotten theory of science explains why researchers persist and how scientific theories can be upheld even when the evidence against them seems massive.

Understanding Wittgenstein’s Authorship
Language, Thought, and Reality
What was Wittgenstein trying to do in his later work? This book argues that most scholarship fails to take his philosophical struggles seriously. His key, if inchoate, insight was that by means of language we seek not primarily to describe reality, but to transform it.

Matter in Marx
New Perspectives on Historical Materialism
Was Marx truly a “materialist”? This book argues that the more interesting question is what kind he developed. It provides a surprising answer: a materialism without matter. On this basis, new light is shed on the base-superstructure analogy, progress, and political action.
