This lucid and engaging volume provides an introduction to the
essential issues and concepts of contemporary analytic philosophy.
It introduces students to the pivotal arguments that motivate work
in the field, while arguing a definite point of view in a style
that encourages discussion and debate.
It develops a broadly Fregean methodology in which semantics is
concerned with the concept of content required in rationalizing
explanations of behaviour. Key problems and positions covered
include: truth, meaning, and inference; arguments against the
possibility of meaning; the realism/anti-realism debate, and the
theory of inference.
This text gives voice to the idea that the study of the
philosophy of thought and language is more than a specialism, but
rather lies at the very heart of the discipline.
