An introduction to the philosophy of language for undergraduates
Key Concepts in Philosophy is a series of concise, accessible and
engaging introductions to the core ideas and subjects encountered
in the study of philosophy. Specially written to meet the needs of
students and those with an interest in, but little prior knowledge
of, philosophy, these books open up fascinating, yet sometimes
difficult ideas. The series builds to give a solid grounding in
philosophy and each book is also ideal as a companion to further
study. Inquiry into the nature and purpose of language has long
been a central concern of Western philosophy, within both the
analytic, Anglo-American tradition, and its Continental
counterpart. Language: Key Concepts in Philosophy explains and
explores the principal ideas, theories and debates in the
philosophy of language, providing a clear and authoritative account
of the discipline. The text covers the work on language of the
major philosophers in both traditions, including Frege,
Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, Davidson, Heidegger, Gadamer, Derrida
and Butler. The book equips readers with the requisite
philosophical tools to get to grips with central concepts and key
issues, and raises challenging questions students can then explore
on their own. Coverage of each issue provides the reader with a
full account of the state of the question and a thorough assessment
of the arguments entailed in the available literature on that
subject.
