This title focuses on the significance of ostension in first word learning. It discusses ostension in contemporary philosophy, especially in the work of Quine, Davidson, and Gadamer. It explores relevant empirical findings in psychology, evolutionary anthropology, and neuroscience. It offers original studies of four representative historical thinkers whose work enriches the understanding of ostension: Wittgenstein, Merleau-Ponty, Augustine, and Aristotle. Building on these foundations, it offers a meticulous analysis of the philosophical issues raised by ostension.
