Cappelen, Herman
Hawthorne, John

23,75 €(IVA inc.)

Cappelen and Hawthorne present a powerful critique of fashionable relativist accounts of truth, and the foundational ideas in semantics on which the new relativism draws. They argue compellingly that the contents of thought and talk are propositions that instantiate the fundamental monadic properties of truth and falsity. INDICE: 1: Overview: Simplicity, Possible Worlds Semantics and Relativism; 2: Diagnostics for Shared Content: From 'Say' to 'Agree'; 3: Operators, the Anaphoric 'That' and Temporally Neutral Propositions; 4: Predicates of Personal Taste; Bibliography
