XII, 251 S. 4 b\/w tbl. 230 mm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor fifty years the philosophy of language has been experiencing a stalemating conflict between the old descriptive and internalist orthodoxy (advocated by philosophers such as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Strawson, and Searle) and the new causal-referential and externalist orthodoxy (mainly endorsed by Kripke, Putnam, and Kaplan). Although the latter is dominant among specialists, the former retains a discomforting intuitive plausibility. The ultimate goal of this book is to overcome the stalemate by means of a non-naïve return to the old descriptivist-internalist orthodoxy. Concerning proper names, this means introducing second-order description-rules capable of systemizing descriptions of the proper name's cluster to provide us with the right changeable conditions of satisfaction for its application. Such rules can explain how a proper name can become a rigid designator while remaining descriptive, disarming Kripke's and Donnellan's main objections. In the last chapter, this new perspective is extended to indexicals in a discussion of David Kaplan's and John Perry's views, and of general terms, in a discussion of Hilary Putnam's externalism. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaudio Ferreira-Costa\u003c\/strong\u003e, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE GRUYTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381415465039,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":5040.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9783110997163","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
