The concept of mimesis has been central to philosophical aesthetics
from Aristotle to Kendall Walton: in plain terms, it highlights the
links between a fictional world or a representational practice on
the one hand and the real world on the other. The present
collection of essays includes discussions of its general viability
and pertinence and of its historical origins, as well as detailed
analyses of various relevant issues regarding literature, film,
theatre, images and computer games. The individual papers offer new
arguments for the specialist, yet in their sum also provide a solid
and helpful survey of the current state of the debate.

Gottlob Frege's brief article "Uber Sinn und Bedeutung" ("On Sense
and Reference") has come to be seen, in the century since its
publication in 1892, as one of the seminal texts of analytic
philosophy. It, along with the rest of Frege's writings on logic
and mathematics, came to mark out a whole new domain of inquiry and
to set the agenda for it. This volume bears witness to the
continuing importance and influence of that agenda. It contains
original papers written by leading Frege scholars for the
conference held in 1992 in Karlovy Vary to celebrate the centenary
of the publication of Frege's essay. The 14 essays show how the
questions Frege discusses in that essay connect intimately with
issues much debated in current philosophy of language and
philosophy of mind.
Donald Davidson is, arguably, the most important philosopher of
mind and language in recent decades. His articulation of the
position he called "anomalous monism" and his ideas for unifying
the general theory of linguistic meaning with semantics for natural
language both set new agendas in the field. "Interpreting Davidson"
collects original essays on his work by some of his leading
contemporaries, with Davidson himself contributing a reply to each
and an original paper of his own.
