The debate about semantic externalism is one of the most important but difficult topics in philosophy of mind and language, and has consequences for our understanding of the role of social institutions and the physical environment in constituting language and the mind. In this long-needed book, Jesper Kallestrup provides an invaluable map of the problem. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the theories of descriptivism and referentialism and the work of Frege and Kripke, Kallestrup moves on to analyse Putnam's Twin Earth argument, Burge's arthritis argument and Davidson's Swampman argument. He also discusses how semantic externalism is at the heart of important topics such as indexical thoughts, epistemological skepticism, self-knowledge, and mental causation. Including chapter summaries, a glossary of terms, and an annotated guide to further reading, Semantic Externalism an ideal guide for students studying philosophy of language and philosophy of mind.New problems of philosophy.Semantics (Philosophy)Language and languagesPhilosophyExternalism (Philosophy of mind)Description (Philosophy)Reference (Philosophy)Semantics (Philosophy)Language and languagesPhilosophy.Externalism (Philosophy of mind)Description (Philosophy)Reference (Philosophy)121/.685,1ssgnCC 4800rvkCC 5500rvkKallestrup Jesper.889526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960287703321Semantic externalism4490620UNINA
