Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

This volume criticises current philosophy of language as having an altered focus without adjusting the needed conceptual tools. It develops a new theory of lexical meaning, a new conception of cognition - humans not as information processing creatures but as primarily explanation and understanding seeking creatures - with information processing as a secondary, derivative activity.

Críticas:

"This searching inquiry opens new directions for the study of meaning and mind, very promising ones: challenging contributions to difficult and important problems." Noam Chomsky, MIT ."..jam-packed with interesting data..." Robert Stainton, Philosophy in Review
