At the birth of analytic philosophy Frege created a paradigm that is centrally important to how meaning has been understood in the twentieth century. Frege invented the now familiar distinctions of sense and force, of sense and reference, of concept and object. He introduced the conception of sentence meaning as residing in truth-conditions and argued that semantics is a normative enterprise distinct from psychology. Most importantly, he created modern quantification theory, engendering the idea that the syntactic and semantic forms of modern logic underpin the meanings of natural-language sentences. Stephen Barker undertakes to overthrow Frege's paradigm, rejecting all the above-mentioned features. The framework he offers is a speech-act-based approach to meaning in which semantics is entirely subsumed by pragmatics. In this framework: meaning resides in syntax and pragmatics; sentence-meanings are not propositions but speech-act types; word-meanings are not objects, functions, or properties, but again speech-act types; pragmatic phenomena one would expect not to figure in semantics, such as pretence, enter into the logical form of sentences; a compositional semantics is provided by showing how speech-act types combine together to form complex speech-act types; the syntactic structures invoked are not those of quantifiers, open sentences, variables, variable-binding, etc., rather they are structures specific to speech-act forms, which link logical form and surface grammar very closely. According to Barker, a natural language - a system of thought - is an emergent entity that arises from the combination of simple intentional structures, and certain non-representational cognitive states. It is embedded in, and part of, a world devoid of normative facts qua extra-linguistic entities. The world, in which the system is embedded, is a totality of particular states of affairs. There is no logical complexity in re; it contains mereological complexity only. Some truths have truth-makers, but others, logically complex truths, lack them. Nevertheless, the truth-predicate is univocal in meaning. Renewing Meaning is a radical, ambitious work which offers to transform the semantics of natural language.

“The only stability possible is stability in motion.”—John William Gardner In his classic treatise Self-Renewal, John W. Gardner examines why great societies thrive and die. He argues that it is dynamism, not decay, that is dramatically altering the landscape of American society. The twentieth century has brought about change more rapidly than any previous era, and with that came advancements, challenges, and often destruction. Gardner cautions that “a society must court the kinds of change that will enrich and strengthen it, rather than the kind of change that will fragment and destroy it.” A society’s ability to renew itself hinges upon its individuals. Gardner reasons that it is the waning of the heart and spirit—not a lack of material might—that threatens American society. Young countries, businesses, and humans have several key commonalities: they are flexible, eager, open, curious, unafraid, and willing to take risks. These conditions lead to success. However, as time passes, so too comes complacency, apathy, and rigidity, causing motivation to plummet. It is at this junction that great civilizations fall, businesses go bankrupt, and life stagnates. Gardner asserts that the individual’s role in social renewal requires each person to face and look beyond imminent threats. Ultimately, we need a vision that there is something worth saving. Through this vision, Gardner argues, society will begin to renew itself, not permanently, but past its average lifespan, and it will at once become enriched and rejuvenated.

Defending a radically new semantic theory, the author shows how it solves notable problems in the philosophy of language. According to the theory, linguistic meaning should be understood in terms of speech acts, and the fundamental bearer of truth is not a proposition but an assertion.

Jeremy Farrell, Christ-follower, life and leadership coach and Human Resources professional with the IBM Corporation has written a challenging book that tackles the essence of the balanced life, be it physical, emotional or spiritual Balance. Farrell's experience and conviction about the achievement and sustainability of the balanced and resilient life is clearly communicated in every page. The author also takes one down a road that looks at not only Balance in life, but also putting the right things at the Center, and Aligning that life with its ultimate purpose. Adding to that an element of Accountability which supports transformative change and renewal. Farrell uses practical exercises and personal and anecdotal illustrations to make the journey of reflection, action and further reflection come alive to the reader. The book challenges the reader's perspective on their life, probing to deeper levels of self-analysis and small actions that can form the beginning of significant change. The reader is led to consider dimensions of life as spokes in a wheel. Although one starts by looking at satisfaction with the various main divisions of ones life, such as Health, Wealth, Family, Relationships, Faith, Work and Service, each of these 'spokes' can become smaller wheels in their own right. Consider taking 'Faith' from being a 'spoke' to being a wheel of its own. In the exercise the Faith wheel can be broken into dimensions such as one's Relationship with God, Devotional life, Spiritual disciplines, Giving, Discipleship, Stewardship, Evangelism and Service. In the exercise one rates their satisfaction with each element, and then decides which should receive focus to improve satisfaction by a point or two in order to restore some balance to the Faith aspect of life. When looking at Faith one could also consider the principles of the Ten Commandments as spokes in a wheel of Obedience, or the Beattitudes of the Sermon on the Mount as spokes in a wheel of Compassion, or the Fruits of the Spirit as spokes in a wheel of Transformation. Similarly, the Work dimension of ones life can be broken out into work roles that can be assessed on a satisfaction scale and then areas chosen for priority focus. Dimensions of Work can be one's roles as an Employee, with dimensions such as Relationships, Integrity, Responsibility, Witness, Self-management, Leadership, Communication and Teaming. The reader can assign roles of their own to this based on their circumstances, but then assess and plan and execute. If the reader was to consider the spokes in a wheel of Discipleship, they would probably find the dimensions of Worship, Scriptures, Leadership, Servanthood, Discipling, Mentoring, Teaching, Witnessing, Praying, Ministry, Personal growth, and Personal Holiness, amongst others. The challenge is to look at the Discipleship wheel by rating satisfaction with the aspects listed and determine a course of action to increase satisfaction with dimensions in order to be a more effective and obedient Disciple. The author is keen to point out that Balance, or balancing, is a process - it is never finished. If life were a road, the bumps, corners, wear and tear all take a toll on one's balance. The process described in this book is never-ending, and anyone looking for the silver-bullet, a one-off quick-fix solution will be disappointed, but the sincere seeker of tools and techniques for achieving meaningful change, renewal and resilience will find simple wisdom within this concise gem of a book.
