This book examines John Locke's claims about the nature and
workings of language. Walter Ott proposes an interpretation of
Locke's thesis in which words signify ideas in the mind of the
speaker, and argues that rather than employing such notions as
sense or reference, Locke relies on an ancient tradition that
understands signification as reliable indication. He then uses this
interpretation to explain crucial areas of Locke's metaphysics and
epistemology, including essence, abstraction, knowledge and mental
representation. His discussion challenges many of the orthodox
readings of Locke, and will be of interest to historians of
philosophy and philosophers of language alike.
