Abstract:

This book offers an innovative systematic approach to the problems of meaning,
reference and related issues, unifying in promising ways some of the best
insights, not only of exponential philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege,
but also of some influential later theorists like Michael Dummett, Ernst
Tugendhat, John Searle and Donald Williams. Moreover, it exposes some main
errors popularized by clever formalist-oriented philosophers, from Willard Van
Orman Quine to Saul Kripke and Hilary Putnam. In this way, it shows how some
older major approaches could regain their central importance and how the
cartography of philosophy of language could be once more redrawn. The book is
clearly written, and will be of interest to anyone with basic training in
analytic philosophy.
