Lewis analyzes social conventions as regularities in the resolution of recurring coordination problems-situations characterized by interdependent decision processes in which common interests are at stake. Conventions are contrasted with other kinds of regularity, and conventions governing systems of communication are given special attention. 606 $aConvention (Philosophy) 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy$2HILCC 615 4$aConvention (Philosophy). 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Philosophy. 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aPhilosophy 676 $a149.9 676 $a149.94 676 $a149/.94 700 $aLewis$b David$032348 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830462203321 996 $aConvention$94020869 997 $aUNINA
