Between Saying and Doing aims to reconcile pragmatism (in both its
classical American and its Wittgensteinian forms) with analytic
philosophy. It investigates the relations between the meaning of
linguistic expressions and their use. Giving due weight both to
what one has to do in order to count as saying various things and
to what one needs to say in order to specify those doings, makes it
possible to shed new light on the relations between semantics (the
theory of the meanings of utterances and the contents of thoughts)
and pragmatics (the theory of the functional relations among
meaningful or contentful items). Among the vocabularies whose
interrelated use and meaning are considered are: logical,
indexical, modal, normative, and intentional vocabulary. As the
argument proceeds, new ways of thinking about the classic analytic
core programs of empiricism, naturalism, and functionalism are
offered, as well as novel insights about the ideas of artificial
intelligence, the nature of logic, and intentional relations
between subjects and objects.
