About The Author

Nishi Shah is a professor of philosophy at Amherst College. The focus of much of his past published work is on the sense in which belief aims at truth. He is currently working on two book manuscripts: one, tentatively titled Complete Liberty: Lessons From John Stuart Mill; another, co-authored with Alexander George, defending a grammatical interpretation of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy.
