Concepts of Meaning includes contributions from well-known
philosophers of language and semanticists. It is a useful
collection for students in philosophy of language, semantics and
epistemology. This work discusses new research in semantics, theory
of truth, philosophy of language and theory of communication from a
trans-disciplinary perspective.
An integrated theory of linguistic behavior should provide a
framework to make behavior intelligible. This work addresses issues
such as sentence meaning, utterance meaning, speaker's intention
and reference, linguistic context, circumstances and background
theories. Readers will learn that interpretation is a result of a
complex pattern.
Scholars of different schools have extensively analyzed world
systems as networks of communication under the fashionable heading
globalization.' Our collected new research pushes the argument one
step further. Globalization is not a homogenization of all social
life on earth. It is a heterogeneous process that connects the
global and the local on different levels. To understand these
contemporary developments this book employs innovative concepts,
strategies of research, and explanations. Globalization is a
metaphor for different borderstructures, new borderlines, and
conditions of membership, which emerge in a global world-system. As
a world-system expands it incorporates new territories and new
peoples. The process of incorporation creates frontiers or
boundaries of the world-system. These frontiers or boundary zones
are the locus of resistance to incorporation, ethnogenesis, ethnic
transformation, and ethnocide.
Professor Donald Davidson is one of the most innovative and
influential recent philosophers. Ranging over a variety of topics
in the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and epistemology,
his system of thought is unified by his inquiries into the nature
of interpretation and understanding the speech and behavior of
others. Together with its introduction, Language, Mind and
Epistemology examines Davidson's unified stance towards philosophy
by joining American and European authors within a collection of
essays, published here for the first time. The authors discuss the
central topics in Davidson's latest philosophy: his holistic
truth-theoretic stance towards meaning and understanding, the
epistemology of interpretation and translation, the externalist
viewpoint in epistemology, the anti-Cartesian approach in
accounting for first person authority, the thesis of anomalous
monism, and the holistic conception of the mental.
