Philosophy of language

hardcover. Stefano Predelli defends a semantics of proper names which has simplicity and common sense in its favour: proper names are non-indexical devices of rigid and direct reference. He grounds this view in accounts of the shape and form of names, and of their introduction within language use, and he responds to widespread misconceptions and objections. Num Pages: 192 pages.

hardcover. In a careful unraveling of the fabulous and the false, Eco shows us how serendipities----unanticipated truths----often spring from mistaken ideas. Eco uncovers layers of mistakes that have shaped human history, such as Columbus's assumption that the world was much smaller than it is, leading him to seek out a quick route to the East via the West and thus fortuitously "discovering" America. Translator(s): Weaver, William. Series: Italian Academy Lectures. Num Pages: 128 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: CFA; CFB; JFCX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.
