Nothing like experience -- 2. What does subjective decision theory tell us? -- 3. How to believe a conditional -- 4. Telling the truth -- 5. Successful semantics -- Part II: What there is. 6. The semantics and ontology of dispositions -- 7. Truthmakers for what? -- 8. Too many universes -- 9. The reduction of society --10. Wholes and parts: the limits of composition -- 11. Micro-composition -- Part III: Time. 12. Time -- 13. Transcendental tense -- 14. Time travel -- 15. The direction of time "'Mind, Meaning, and reality' contains fifteen philosophical papers by D. H. Mellor, including a new defence of 'success semantics', and an introduction arguing that metaphysics can and need only be justified by doing it and not by a 'meta-metaphysics', which it needs no more than physics needs metaphysics. The papers are grouped into three parts. Part I is about how the ways we are disposed to act fixes what we believe and what we use language to mean. Part II is about what there is: the reality of dispositions: what makes beliefs and sentences true; why there is only one universe; and how social groups, and other things composed of parts, are related to the people and other things that constitute them.

Mellor, including a new defence of 'success semantics', and an introduction arguing that metaphysics can and need only be justified by doing it and not by a 'meta-metaphysics', which it needs no more than physics needs metaphysics.
