Thought and World presents a theory of the content of such notions. The theory is largely deflationary in spirit, in the sense that it represents a broad range of semantic notions - including the concept of truth - as being entirely free from substantive metaphysical and empirical presuppositions. At the same time, however, it takes seriously and seeks to explain the intuition that there is a metaphysically or empirically 'deep' relation (a relation of mirroring or semantic correspondence) linking thoughts to reality. Thus, the theory represents a kind of compromise between deflationism and versions of the correspondence theory of truth. This book will appeal to students and professionals interested in the philosophy of logic and language.Cambridge studies in philosophy.Thought & WorldTruthProposition (Logic)Semantics (Philosophy)Truth.Proposition (Logic)Semantics (Philosophy)121Hill Christopher S.146113UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450539203321Thought and world2486154UNINA
