Richard Sylvan (né Routley) was Senior Research Fellow in the Philosophy Programs at the Austra- lian National University, where he linked the 'deep-green' theory of environmental philosophy for which he is most widely known to an astonishing range of work in metaphysics, semantics, logic and value theory. He died suddenly in 1996 at the age of 60, when he had just completed this major text.
