Stephen Schiffer presents a groundbreaking account of meaning and
belief, and shows how it can illuminate a range of crucial problems
regarding language, mind, knowledge, and ontology. He introduces
the new doctrine of 'pleonastic propositions' to explain what the
things we mean and believe
are. He discusses the relation between semantic and psychological
facts, on the one hand, and physical facts, on the other; vagueness
and indeterminacy; moral truth; conditionals; and the role of
propositional content in information acquisition and explanation.
This radical new treatment of meaning
will command the attention of everyone who works on fundamental
questions about language, and will attract much interest from other
areas of philosophy.
