Description
This collection addresses fundamental questions about meaning, linguistic communication, the nature of language, and more. With eight thematic sections—Names, Descriptions, Attributions, Communication, Truth, Analyticity, Indeterminacies, and Language—the book provides a coherent overview of the most relevant and influential articles. New additions by, among others, Carl G. Hempel and Saul Kripke make this the most up-to-date collection. Introductions to each section provide clear context, and the book concludes with suggestions for further study.
