Description
Between Saying and Doing offers a new perspective on pragmatism by reconciling its classical American and Wittgensteinian forms with analytic philosophy. This book investigates the relationships between the meaning of linguistic expressions and their use, shedding light on the connections between semantics and pragmatics. The author considers various vocabularies, including logical, indexical, modal, normative, and intentional vocabulary, to understand how they relate to each other. As a result, new insights are gained into classic analytic programs such as empiricism, naturalism, and functionalism, as well as novel perspectives on artificial intelligence, logic, and the nature of intentional relations. By exploring these connections, this book provides a fresh understanding of the relationships between language, meaning, and action, making it a valuable resource for those interested in philosophy and linguistics.
