Description
John Perry's "Reference and Reflexivity" presents a comprehensive account of indexicals, demonstratives, and proper names. In this second edition, Perry has expanded his theory with new material, including chapters on the distinction between semantics and pragmatics and attitude reports.
The book explores two main approaches to understanding reference: reflexive contents that place conditions on their actual utterance, and fully incremental contents that place conditions only on the objects of reference. By reconciling the insights of both referentialist and descriptivist traditions, Perry offers a structured family of contents that sheds new light on the nature of language and meaning.
