A major study of some of the central and abiding questions of
metaphysics and the philosophy of language by one of the most
eminent contemporary German philosophers. Originally published in
1976, it was first translated into English in 1982. Ernst Tugendhat
was trained in the Heideggerian modes of phenomenological and
hermeneutical thinking. Yet increasingly he came to believe that
the most appropriate approach was from within the framework of
analytical philosophy. This book grew out of that conviction, and
as such it brought a fresh perspective to some of the rarely
examined assumptions and methods of analysis. Professor Tugendhat
begins by showing how semantic analysis related to such
'traditional' conceptions of philosophy as Aristotle's and Kant's,
and the manner in which it treats such 'traditional' problems as
being and consciousness. From these considerations he develops a
systematic, thorough and original theory of reference, predication
and individuation, which make it an invaluable resource for anyone
with an interest in the philosophy of language.
