Language and Philosophical Problems investigates problems about
mind, meaning and mathematics rooted in preconceptions of language.
It deals in particular with problems which are connected with our
tendency to be misled by certain prevailing views and
preconceptions about language. Philosophical claims made by
theorists of meaning are scrutinized and shown to be connected with
common views about the nature of certain mathematical notions and
methods. Drawing in particular on Wittgenstein's ideas, Sren
Stenlund demonstrates a strategy for tracing out and resolving
conceptual and philosophical problems. By a critical examination of
examples from different areas of philosophy, he shows that many
problems arise through the transgression of the limits of the use
of technical concepts and formal methods. Many prima facie
different kinds of problems are shown to have common roots, and
should thus be dealt and resolved together. Such an approach is
usually prevented by the influence of traditional philosophical
terminology and classification. The results of this investigation
make it clear that the received ways of subdividing the subject
matter of philosophy often conceal the roots of the problem.
