Series Statement: Current Issues in Theoretical Philosophy ; Volume 3

Content: International führende Autoren wenden sich in Originalbeiträgen dem wichtigsten Problem der Sprachphilosophie zu, der Frage, wie – angesichts einflussreicher skeptischer Attacken, die insbesondere von Willard Van Quine und Saul Kripke und ihren Anhängern gegen den Begriff der Bedeutung geführt wurden –, die Aussichten zu beurteilen sind, eine haltbare Theorie der Bedeutung zu entwickeln. Die Texte versuchen mithin die grundlegenden Fragen zu beantworten – ob es Bedeutungen gibt, wenn ja, was sie sind, und welche Form eine seriöse philosophische Theorie der Bedeutung annehmen sollte.
