描述 | Speakers can get to know the meaning of any of indefinitelymany sentences that they have never heard before. This statementencapsulates the problem of linguistic creativity, which lies at thecore of philosophy of language and theoretical linguistics. It hasalso sparked off a considerable amount of work on the philosophy ofmind. .After establishing the failure of the familiar compositional approachto the problem, the book adopts a radically new start. It developscore elements of the later Wittgenstein‘s conception of philosophy,putting them to work to`dissolve‘ the problem, proving it ill-framedby clarifying the questions posing it and breaking the spell ofmistaken analogies that inform it. .This sharply focused monograph thus has a dual aim: coping with acrucial problem that turns out to be a lot tougher than is generallysupposed, and presenting a precise and rigorous demonstration of anunfamiliar and exciting philosophical approach. ..Audience:. Clearly written and lucidly structured, the bookaddresses professional philosophers and advanced undergraduates alike. |
