ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Excellent text for learning cutting edge phil. of lang.
~ Written on Oct 28, 1999. 12 out of 14 users found this review helpful.

This text can jump start one's study of the most advanced topics in the philosophy of language in the analytic tradition. Traditional theories of reference are contrasted with the new direct theory of reference. It is argued that the direct theory (the causal theory of reference) does not really support belief in essences.
