Presenting a fascinating analysis of the idea of what can't be
said, this book ascertains whether the notion of there being a
truth, or a state of affairs, or knowledge that can't be expressed
linguistically is a coherent notion. The author distinguishes
different senses in which it might be said that something can't be
said. The first part looks at the question of whether ineffability
is a coherent idea. Part two evaluates two families of arguments
regarding whether ineffable states of affairs actually exist: the
argument from mysticism and the argument from epistemic
boundedness. Part three looks more closely at the relation between
mystic and non-mystic stances. In the fourth and final part the
author distinguishes five qualitatively different types of
ineffability. Ineffability and Philosophy is a significant
contribution to this area of research and will be essential reading
for philosophers and those researching and studying the philosophy
of language.
