The Metaphysics of Representation

Autor J. Robert G. Williams
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2020
Representation is puzzling. Physical events in our heads andsounds inour mouths come to be 'about' the worldaround us, equipping us to think and talk about anything fromthe mostfundamentalregularities in the universe to trivial matters of gossip.InThe Metaphysics of Representation, Robert Williams tells a story about how representational properties arise out of a fundamentally non-representational world. The representational properties of language are reduced, via convention, to the representational properties of thoughts. The representational properties of thoughts are reduced, via principles of rationalization, to the representational properties of perception and intention. This most fundamental layer of representation is grounded in the functions these structures have to cause and be caused by events in the world. Williams integrates work from rival traditions to present a combined perspective in the metaphysics of representation, gives new predictions and explanations of representational phenomena, and offers new solutions to long-standing problems.

Recenzii

Williams extends extant work in insightful and important ways, combining it into a powerful and cohesive account. The Metaphysics of Representation is essential reading for anyone whose research engages with metasemantics, and is recommended for anyone interested more generally in linguistic, conceptual or other forms of representation.
