of its nature and limitations. Cappelen has argued that the role of intuition in Western analytic philosophy is overstated. His 2012 book, Philosophy without Intuitions, argues that intuition plays a minor role - or no role at all - in most modern philosophy, and the fear that intuition is widespread has been damaging. His claim that the role of intuitions is overstated is controversial, and has been hotly debated. Along with Josh Dever, Cappelen has argued that the notion of perspective is unimportant for the philosophy of language, thought, and action. Their 2013 book The Inessential Indexical argues that the phenomena which, for example, John Perry and David Lewis think show the importance of indexical representation of the self and time can be accounted for using resources already available in the philosophy of language and thought. Cappelen has also authored, or co-authored, important books on the debate between contextualists and relativists (Relativism and Monadic Truth, with John Hawthorne), and on quotation (Language Turned on Itself with Ernest Lepore). Some of his papers co-written with Ernest Lepore are collected in Liberating Content. Cappelen, along with Josh Dever, wrote a series of textbooks on philosophy of language, Context and Communication (2016), Puzzles Of Reference (2018), and Bad Language (2019),. Along with John Hawthorne and Tamar Gendler he coedited The Oxford Handbook Of Philosophical Methodology (2016). With David Plunkett and Alexis Burgess he co-edited Conceptual Engineering and Conceptual Ethics (2020), a collection of papers on the topic of conceptual engineering. His monograph Making AI Intelligible, co-written with Josh Dever, is forthcoming with Oxford University Press in 2021.
