Description: Rethinking Language, Mind, and Meaning, Hardcover by Soames, Scott, ISBN 0691160457, ISBN-13 9780691160450, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Author Soames, director of the School of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, offers new approaches to perennial problems in the philosophy of language and mind. The author argues that changes to the study of language, mind, and meaning resulting from advances in philosophical logic (which are based on the ideas of thinkers including Gottlob Frege, Saul Kripke, and David Kaplan) must be reconceptualized, going beyond adapting intensional logic to the study of natural language. The author begins by outlining current ideas in the study of linguistic meaning and where they came from, then identifies three ways in which the current theoretical framework must change, focusing on the sematic contents of sentences. Methods, models, examples, and logical proofs are given. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
