What is language? How does it relate to the world? How does it relate to the mind? Should our view of language influence our view of the world? These are among the central issues covered in this spirited and unusually clear introduction to the philosophy of language. Making no pretense of neutrality, Michael Devitt and Kim Sterelny take a definite theoretical stance. Central to that stance is naturalism--that is, they treat a philosophical theory of language as an empirical theory like any other and see people as nothing but complex parts of the physical world. This leads them, controversially, to a deflationary view of the significance of the study of language: they dismiss the idea that the philosophy of language should be preeminent in philosophy. This highly successful textbook has been extensively rewritten for the second edition to reflect recent developments in the field.

Philosophy of Language is an accessible yet detailed introduction to the major issues and thinkers in the subject. Thematically structured, Philosophy of Language introduces the work of leading thinkers who have contributed to the discipline, including Frege, Russell, Strawson, Grice and Quine and also examines key distinctions that arise, such as sense and reference, sense and force, descriptions and names, semantics and pragmatics, extensional, intensional, and hyperintensional contexts, and the problems which these distinctions involve. Cogent and thorough analysis throughout is supplemented by student-friendly features, including chapter summaries, questions for discussion, guides to further reading, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. Closely reflecting the way the philosophy of language is taught and studied, the structure and content of this introduction is ideal for use on undergraduate courses and of value for postgraduate students.

Many people find themselves dissatisfied with recent linguistic philosophy, and yet know that language has always mattered deeply to philosophy and must in some sense continue to do so. Ian Hacking considers here some dozen case studies in the history of philosophy to show the different ways in which language has been important, and the consequences for the development of the subject. There are chapters on, among others, Hobbes, Berkeley, Russell, Ayer, Wittgenstein, Chomsky, Feyerabend and Davidson. Dr Hacking ends by speculating about the directions in which philosophy and the study of language seem likely to go. The book will provide students with a stimulating, broad survey of problems in the theory of meaning and the development of philosophy, particularly in this century. The topics treated in the philosophy of language are among the central, current concerns of philosophers, and the historical framework makes it possible to introduce concretely and intelligibly all the main theoretical issues.

What is philosophy about and what are its methods? Philosophy and Ordinary Language is a defence of the view that philosophy is largely about questions of language, which to a large extent means ordinary language. Some people argue that if philosophy is about ordinary language, then it is necessarily less deep and difficult than it is usually taken to be but Oswald Hanfling shows us that this isn't true. Hanfling, a leading expert in the development of analytic philosophy, covers a wide range of topics, including scepticism and the definition of knowledge, free will, empiricism, folk psychology, ordinary versus artificial logic, and philosophy versus science. Drawing on philosophers such as Austin, Wittgenstein, and Quine, this book explores the nature of ordinary language in philosophy.

Language is what we all share and is our common concern. What is the nature of language? How is language related to the world? How is communication possible via language? What is the impact of language on our reasoning and thinking? Many people are unaware that misunderstandings and conflicts during communication occur as a result of the way we use language. This book introduces the central issues in the history of philosophical investigations about the concept of language. Topics are structured with reference to the world’s foremost philosophers of language. The book will encourage the reader to explore the depths of the concept of language and will raise an awareness of this distinctive human capacity.

Ordinary language philosophy, explains Fleming (philosophy, Bucknell U.), proposes that analysts articulate the conditions of restraint of particular uses of language, and identify the implications those uses make possible. Discussions of language analyzed and problems solved, it holds, should be deferred until after the specific language that people actually use is understood. He sets out the principles, methods, and findings of the approach. Distributed by Associated University Presses. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The more we analyze language, the more clearly we see that it transcends in depth the most conscious productions of the mind. -Schelling. I believe truly that languages are the best mirror of the mind, and that an exact analysis of the signification of words would make us better acquainted than anything else with the operations of the understanding. -Leibnitz. He who would examine the influence which words, mere words, have exercised on the minds of men, might write a history of the world that would teach us more than any which we yet possess. -Max Müller. As the fossils of the rocks disclose to the paleontologist the various forms of life that have successively appeared upon the globe, so, too, the fossils of speech disclose to the scientific philologist the various stages that have been reached in the growth of human consciousness. -A. H. Sayce. Language is the reflection of the thoughts and beliefs of communities from their earliest days; and by tracing its changes and its fortunes, by discovering the origin and history of words and their meanings, we can read those thoughts and beliefs with greater certainty and minuteness than had they been traced by the pen of the historian. -A. H. Sayce. Etymology tends directly to aid us in the clear understanding and just and forcible employment of the words which compose our own language. -George P. Marsh. Etymology has the charm of all sciences which deal with the beginning and growth of the great products of nature or mind. -George Curtius. * * * * * From the PREFACE. It is the aim of this work to explain as plainly as possible some of the most important results of the Science of Language. It is astonishing how little is generally known, even by educated people, about language,-what it is, whence our words come, what is their true bearing, how is our language*'connected with those spoken by peoples around us, etc. We seem to speak too much as birds sing-without ever bending our minds to reflect on the nature of the sounds we utter. The main results of geology, physiology, chemistry and other sciences are already a possession of the public at large. Why should we not pay some attention also to this wonderful instrument, without which civilization, society itself, could not be possible? An inquiry into the nature of our language cannot be less interesting, hardly less important, than the study of the constitution of the earth, or of our body. A work on this subject which aims to be popular, is necessarily imperfect and incomplete. Many things are to be left out; technical terms must be avoided as much as possible; rigorous scientific order cannot generally be followed; too often concision must be given up and repetitions resorted to for the sake of plainness and clearness. It is also, of course, impossible not to use now and then instances, comparisons and explanations already given by others, especially in such standard works as those of Prof. Whitney and Max Müller. All suggestions which may help to make this work more useful and less incomplete, will meet with thankful acknowledgment.
