Recenzii
Let me conclude by saying that Semantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness is a rich and stimulating work, offering an original contribution to metasemantics, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind. it is highly recommended for students and professionals in these areas, as well as to linguists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.
This book will be of interest to philosophers of language, formal semanticists and metaphysicians generally. However, given the abstract nature of the discussions and the assumption of familiarity with a number of related disciplines, it will be a challenging read for a general philosophical audience. If one does find oneself in the fortunate position of being able to appreciate any of the separate arguments available in this rich text, it will be a most rewarding experience with fascinating insights along the way.
There is much of interest in the book, and I hope that the discussion of the seeming explanatory circularity of metasemantic appeals to sentential truth, the scrambled truth argument, the discussion of the relation between semantic value and less technical semantic notions, and the attempt to link metasemantics with issues in law -- among much else -- will be read and discussed.
