The key-terms "language," "knowledge" and "metaphysics" arguably
shape most of the recent researches in analytic philosophy. This
volume aim to address some of the currently debated issues
revolving around these three fundamental areas and, in particular:
can the notion of "descriptive name" be extended to names of
natural kinds? What does it mean for a belief to be justified? Is
there a principled way to draw the distinction between causal and
non causal relations? Do future contingent claims require us to
employ a notion of relative truth? In what sense analytic sentences
could be taken to be known a posteriori? The twelve papers
collected in this volume arise from a selection of those presented
during the First Graduate Conference of the Italian Society for
Analytic Philosophy (SIFA) held at the University of Padua in
September 2007. The authors are all young and brilliant scholars
coming from some of the most prestigious universities in the world:
University College (London), Nottingham, Princeton, Kentucky,
Stanford, Eastern Piedmont, St. Andrews, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Duhram, Catholic University of Leuven, London School of
Economics.
