Andrew Collier is the boldest defender of objectivity - in science,
knowledge, thought, action, politics, morality and religion. In this

key areas with which defenders of objectivity often have to engage.
Sections are devoted to the following:
* objectivity of value

The
diverse contributions range from social and political thought to
philosophy, reflecting the central themes of Collier's work.
