Abstract

This is a slim volume of essays on meaning that merits use in an undergraduate or graduate course, particularly in that several contributors-Davidson, Quine, Dummett, and Geach—introduce, summarize, and illustrate the views of meaning with which they are associated. There is also a somewhat loosely-woven essay by Follesdal, [[sic]] in part relating the Anglo-American tradition to Continental formulations, and an essay by Anscombe on the first person which concludes, somewhat enigmatically, that "'I’ is not a referring expression."
