  • av Robert C. Stalnaker
    455 - 824,-

    Robert Stalnaker explores the contexts in which speech takes place, the ways we represent them, and the roles they play in explaining the interpretation and dynamics of speech. His central thesis is the autonomy of pragmatics: the independence of theory about structure and function of discourse from theory about mechanisms serving those functions.

  • av Peter (University of Minnesota) Hanks
    417 - 1 038,-

    Peter Hanks defends a new theory about the nature of propositional content, according to which the basic bearers of representational properties are particular mental or spoken actions. He explains the unity of propositions and provides new solutions to a long list of puzzles and problems in philosophy of language.

  • - On the Philosophical Insignificance of Perspective and the First Person
    av Herman (University of St Andrews) Cappelen & Josh (University of Texas at Austin) Dever
    462 - 1 084,-

    Cappelen and Dever present a forceful challenge to the standard view that perspective, and in particular the perspective of the first person, is a philosophically deep aspect of the world. Their goal is not to show that we need to explain indexical and other perspectival phenomena in different ways, but to show that the entire topic is an illusion.

  • - Subjects, Consciousness, and Self-Consciousness
    av Christopher (Columbia University) Peacocke
    503 - 1 145,-

    Christopher Peacocke presents a new theory of subjects of consciousness, together with a theory of the nature of first person representation. He identifies three sorts of self-consciousness-perspectival, reflective, and interpersonal-and argues that they are key to explaining features of our knowledge, social relations, and emotional lives.

  • - Relative Truth and its Applications
    av Berkeley) MacFarlane & John (University of California
    556 - 1 145,-

    John MacFarlane explores how we might make sense of the idea that truth is relative. He provides new, satisfying accounts of parts of our thought and talk that have resisted traditional methods of analysis, including what we mean when we talk about what is tasty, what we know, what will happen, what might be the case, and what we ought to do.

  • av Imogen (University of Toronto) Dickie
    462 - 1 282,-

    Imogen Dickie develops an account of aboutness-fixing for thoughts about ordinary objects, and of reference-fixing for the singular terms we use to express them. She explains how relations to objects including perceptual attention, understanding of proper names, and grasp of descriptions do their aboutness-fixing and thought-enabling work.

  • - Semantics Without Truth Values
    av Paul M. (Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science Pietroski
    1 029,-

    Paul M. Pietroski presents an ambitious new account of human languages as generative procedures that respect substantive constraints. He argues that meanings are neither concepts nor extensions, and sentences do not have truth conditions; meanings are composable instructions for how to access and assemble concepts of a special sort.

  • - An Essay on Meaning, Reference, and Truth
    av John (Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University) Perry & Emeritus Professor of Philosophy
    413 - 732,-

    John Perry offers a rethinking of Frege's seminal contributions to philosophy of language, which had a dominant influence on the subject in the twentieth century. He argues that Frege's famous doctrine of indirect reference led philosophers on a detour, and he advocates a move to a new framework for understanding reference.
