 Crispin Wright
Wright, who became first-lieutenant of his company, served in both the infantry and artillery and during four yeas at the front was never wounded or taken prisoner.

 Wittgenstein, Wright, Rorty and minimalism - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Crispin Wright, Richard Rorty - language - Symposium: ...
Crispin Wright is not a minimalist, although he likes to appropriate the title.
Bitter, because Wright resolutely underplays an interpretation of Wittgenstein, and an approach to the central issues, that I hoped I had defended in earlier work to which he refers (Blackburn, 1990).
In the first chapter of his book, Wright handsomely highlights the "expressivist" approach to various regions of discourse, as giving one of the three main anti-realist paradigms that he wants to discuss, the others being Dummettian anti-realism, and error theories (Wright 1992, p.

Besides Crispin's evangelical message which is seated on the pillar of the beautiful and rich Catholic Faith, the band translates that message into the human heart through outrageously hip songs that have brought audiences of all ages to their feet!
CRISPIN is a powerhouse of a band that plays funk, pop, ballads, and praise and worship music, and preaching (TEXAS STYLE) at every concert.
Crispin is perfect for any youth, young adult or family event, retreat, conference, or for a concert presented for the spiritual enrichment of a local parish.

Wright said St. Louis was diagnosed with the disease about five years ago and it had been in remission.

Crispin jumped flat-footed and his shoulders rose even to the crossbar, about 10 feet, and before he hit the ground, I saw (former) men's basketball coach Robbie Hicklin leave the stands heading for the press box to find out who he was."

 Crispin Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crispin Wright (born 1942) is a British philosopher, who has written on neo-Fregean philosophy of mathematics, Wittgenstein's later philosophy, and on issues related to truth, realism, cognitivism, skepticism, knowledge, and objectivity.
Wright is one of the major proponents of neo-logicism.
Wright also argues that in some contexts, probably including moral contexts, superassertibility will effectively function as a truth predicate.

Crispin Wright's objection to this way of dealing with vague predicates is that it, quite literally, lays the world bare.
I'm sympathetic to Crispin Wright's view, which is why I have a keen interest in seeing why objections one and two are invalid.
Wright's claim is provocative, because in order to defend his claim against objections, it is possible that we shall need to question certain widely held assumptions about the concept of objectivity, or what it is for something to be 'part of the world'.

 Stewart Shapiro - Vagueness in Context - Reviewed by Matti Eklund, Cornell University - Philosophical Reviews - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Crispin Wright introduced into the sorites literature the idea that speakers can permissibly go either way with respect to borderline cases.
Given how central these four theses are to Shapiro's book, there is surprisingly little by way of direct argument for them, and surprisingly little by way of discussion of the objections to them that can be found in various parts of the literature.
She would then avoid embracing the radical (iii), but at the seeming 'cost' of denying that the seeming disagreement really is genuine.

 EJAP 5:3: Dieterle, "Julius Ceasar and the Number 2"
[2] In Frege's Conception of Numbers as Objects, Crispin Wright argues that Frege's context principle -- "Never to ask for the bedeutung of a word in isolation, but only in the context of a sentence" -- should be interpreted as a principle concerning reference (as opposed to sense).
In Chapter 4 of (1983), Crispin Wright derives Peano's postulates in second-order logic with Hume's principle as an added axiom.
Dummett (1983), Hale (1979) and (1984), and Wright (1983) have improved on Frege's conditions, and the resulting criteria do seem to fulfill the goal.

 Michael Dummett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The novelty of Dummett's approach consisted in seeing these disputes as, at base, analogous to the dispute between intuitionism and platonism in the philosophy of mathematics.
It is now common, thanks to Dummett's influence, to speak of a post-Dummettian generation of English philosophers, including such figures as John McDowell, Christopher Peacocke, and Crispin Wright--though only Wright has been fairly close to Dummett on substantive philosophical questions.
Dummett has been politically active, through his work as a campaigner against racism.
