In this book, one of the world's leading philosophers of language offers ... Read more

Pronouns in such environments not only exhibit familiar distinctions such as that between ... Read more

    An Ultimate Presupposition of Twentieth-Century Philosophy

    by Jaakko Hintikka ...
    Series Book 2 - Jaakko Hintikka Selected Papers

    An updated approach to the meaning of truth ascriptions

    by Maria Jose Frapolli ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

Focusing on conditionals, the book defends a wholly pragmatic, wholly inferential account of meaning – one which foregrounds a reasoning subject’s individual state of mind. The topics discussed in the ... Read more
