Introduction: Ramsey’s Modal Pragmatism

This is a draft Introduction for a collection of seventeen of my previously-published essays. The collection is forthcoming from OUP, with the title Making Modals: Pragmatic Perspectives on Probability, Causation, and Decision. The Table of Contents included lists the original sources of the remaining pieces, with links to online copies. Five of the essays are co-authored, with Peter Menzies, Brad Weslake, and Yang Liu (x3). The last section of this chapter (§16) explains the way the remaining chapters are grouped in the volume, with notes on their contents.
