A central theme of this book is that the main problems of
philosophy and certainly the main traditional problems in the
theory of knowledge, concern the space between language and the
world. Professor Danto distinguishes between descriptive concepts,
concerned with saying how the world is and semantic concepts, which
have to do with the application of descriptions of the world.
Failure to make these distinctions is responsible for a class of
seemingly irresolvable disputes over the foundations of knowledge;
but when the distinction is appreciated, a plausible philosophical
theory of what it is to know the world can be framed which is free
from the standard scepticisms.
