Review

"This technical and groundbreaking work about the nature of linguistic meaning and its relationship to empirical possibilities should create a stir in linguistic circles. Recommended." The Reader's Review

"The work is wide ranging, heavily detailed, and argument dense..." Benjamin F. Armstrong, Jr., Review of Metaphysics

Book Description

Three important questions lie at the core of this book. What are the main objectives of semantics? Why are they worthwhile? How should we accomplish them? The approach of the study is anti-Cartesian, rejecting the idea that linguistic or conceptual competence yields any privileged access to meanings.
