Description
Catherine Z. Elgin's comprehensive study systematizes and develops Nelson Goodman's philosophy of language in a sophisticated exploration of key issues such as metaphor. This important work offers a nuanced approach to understanding the nature of language, one that is distinct from other theories. Elgin's analysis sheds new light on a range of topics, including those often overlooked by other philosophical perspectives. By engaging with Goodman's ideas, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human communication and the ways in which language shapes our perceptions of the world. Hardcover, 200 pages.
