An early version of this paper was written while I was visiting Monash University in the first half of 1979. I am grateful to Jan Crosthwaite, Lloyd Humberstone, Denis Robinson and Barry Taylor for valuable discussions. Subsequent revisions were made as a result of comments by Simon Blackburn, John McDowell, Christopher Peacocke and Mark Sainsbury.
