Beskrivning

This volume is concerned with how one is to conceive of the relation between language and reality without embracing linguistic realism and without courting any form of linguistic idealism either. It argues that this is precisely what Wittgenstein does and also examines some well known contemporary philosophers who have been concerned with this same question.
