This volume advances discussion between critics and defenders of
the force-content distinction and opens up new ways of thinking
about force and speech acts in relation to the unity problem. The
force-content dichotomy has shaped the philosophy of language and
mind since the time of Frege and Russell. Isn't it obvious that,
for example, the clauses of a conditional are not asserted and must
therefore be propositions and propositions the forceless contents
of forceful acts? But, others have recently asked in response, how
can a proposition be a truth value bearer if it is not unified
through the forceful act of a subject that takes a position
regarding how things are? Can we not instead think of propositions
as being inherently forceful, but of force as being cancelled in
certain contexts? And what do assertoric, but also directive and
interrogative force indicators mean? Force, Content and the Unity
of the Proposition will be of interest to researchers working in
philosophy of language, philosophical logic, philosophy of mind and
linguistics.
