Truth and Meaning Résumé
Truth and Meaning Avis
The best blend of technical competence, philosophical sophistication and topical coverage currently available in an introduction to the philosophy of language. Robert M. Harnish, University of Arizona This is a first--rate introduction to the topics and philosophers it covers, from Frege through theories of truth to intentional semantics, the metaphysics of modality, translation, language in action, speech acts, and more. The book is well--written, clear, accessible, and thorough. Many students will be stimulated to explore the issues further, and will have a solid base from which to do so. John F. Post, Vanderbilt University
