Review of Millikan, Ruth Garrett, Language: A Biological Model [Book Review]
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 2006 (5) (2006)
Abstract
Ruth Millikan is one of the most interesting and influential philosophers alive. Her work is also hard to penetrate. In this review, I try to present and assess her work on the nature of language, which is collected in this anthology. I also criticize her analysis of “natural convention” as well as her discussion of illocutionary acts.Author's Profile
