Synopsis :

In this volume John Perry develops his "reflexive-referential" account of indexicals, demonstratives, and proper names. For this new second edition, Perry has added a new preface and two chapters on the distinction between semantics and pragmatics and on attitude reports. He reveals a coherent and structured family of contents--from reflexive contents that place conditions on their actual utterance to fully incremental contents that place conditions only on the objects of reference--reconciling the legitimate insights of both the referentialist and descriptivist traditions.

À propos de l?auteur: John Perry is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University, where he taught from 1974 to 2008, and from the University of California, Riverside, where he taught from 2008 to 2014. He has written books and articles on semantics (including pioneering work on situation semantics, with Jon Barwise), personal identity, the philosophy of language consciousness and other philosophical topics. He is the recipient of numerous awards for teaching and research, including honorary degrees from Doane College, the University of the Basque Country, and Bochum University.
