This volume presents a selection of the most important writings in the debate on the nature of meaning and reference which started one hundred years ago with Frege's classic essay "On Sense and Reference." Contributors include Bertrand Russell, P.F. Strawson, W.V. Quine, Donald Davidson, John McDowell, Michael Dummett, Hilary Putnam, Saul Kripke, David Wiggins, and Gareth Evans. The aim of this series is to bring together important recent writings in major areas of philosophical inquiry, selected from a wide variety of sources, mostly periodicals, which may not be conveniently available to the university student or the general reader.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"An outstanding selection of authors."--William Ryan, Gonzaga University
"An outstanding collection of classic works in the philosophy of language, and could easily serve as the core text in such a course. This is a difficult subject for undergraduates to deal with, but the unifying theme of the book and its lucid introduction should help greatly. I would strongly recommend it."--Duncan Richter, University of Virginia
"A superb collection of essays with far reaching implications for the way we understand the problems of meaning. The book should be of interest not only to students of philosophy and linguistics, but also for religion students interested in hermeneutics."--Micheal W. Palmer, Bluefield College
"A very fine series of essays....It is especially helpful to have two essays by Frege, as these are not very accessible today. They alone are worth the price of the book. Introduction by Moore is helpful and clearly written."--Mark S. Krause, Puget Sound Christian College
