Description
Meaning and Argument: An Introduction to Logic Through Language is a comprehensive introduction to philosophy of logic and language. It offers a distinctive philosophical approach, focusing on symbolization rather than mathematical derivations.
The book draws on insights from over half a century of work in philosophy and linguistics, exploring key concepts such as anaphora through the contributions of prominent thinkers like Peter Geach, Gareth Evans, Hans Kamp, and Irene Heim. With numerous exercises and an answer key, readers can engage with the material and develop their understanding.
A new edition features over a dozen additional problem sets and revisions throughout, ensuring that this updated version remains relevant and accessible to students of logic and philosophy. An accompanying website provides further resources for those exploring these topics in more depth.
