9780199284726: Content, Cognition, and Communication: Philosophical Papers II

Synopsis

Nathan Salmon presents a selection of his essays from the early 1980s to 2006, on a set of closely connected topics central to analytic philosophy. The book is divided into four thematic sections. The first contains six essays on the theme of direct reference, and associated issues regarding names and descriptions, demonstratives and reflexivity. The four essays in the second section, under the heading of apriority, concern particular consequences of Millianism with respect to the semantic-epistemological status of certain special kinds of sentences. The five essays in the third section develop Salmon's project of reconciling Millianism with a host of problems posed by locutions of propositional attitude, especially by attributions of belief. The volume concludes with four essays about the distinction between meaning and use, or more generally, the distinction between semantics and pragmatics.

Revue de presse

the publication of this book is most welcome. It collects together for the first time a group of papers by one of the most original, provocative and influencial philosophers of language of the last three decades... It is an absolute must for philosophers of language, philosophers of the mind and epistemologists alike, and very warmly recommended to any philosopher with an interest in its topics. I've learnt much from studying the papers included in it, and I'm sure that many other readers will do as well. (Elia Zardini, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
