About this title

Synopsis

Platts, Mark de Bretton, Ways of Meaning: An Introduction to a Philosophy of Language

From the Back Cover

This second edition of the book contains a new chapter on the notions of natural-kind words and natural kinds. Unlike other discussions of the subject, this one places the sematic issues involved in the context of questions about the relations between knowing subjects and known objects. The author has also added a bibliography of further readings published since the first edition appeared in 1979.
