I picked up a Robert Nozick book at a book sale and mistook it for a piece of crank literature; I bought it for a laugh and was chagrined when I realized that the author was an eminent Harvard prof.
This was the jacket excerpt which confused me:
9
"Truth is embedded in space-time and is relative to it. However, truth is not socially relative among human beings (extraterrestrials are another matter). Objective facts are invariant under specified transformations; objective beliefs are arrived at by a process in which biasing factors do not play a significant role. Necessity's domain is contracted (there are no important metaphysical necessities; water is not necessarily H20)"
