دانلود کتاب Reflections on Meaning

Paul Horwich’s main aim in Reflections on Meaning is to explain how mere noises, marks, gestures, and mental symbols are able to capture the world–that is, how words and sentences (in whatever medium) come to mean what they do, to stand for certain things, to be true or false of reality. His answer is a groundbreaking development of Wittgenstein’s idea that the meaning of a term is nothing more than its use. While the chapters here have appeared as individual essays, Horwich has edited them to make a continuous argument, focused on articulating and developing an important new conception of language.
