This book provides an introduction to modern work in the field of analytic philosophy, a field primarily concerned with the investigation of language and the analysis of mind. Using the example of the proper name, McCulloch gives a clear explanation of the seminal logical theories of Gottlob Frege, and explains the application of these ideas to ordinary language, including such topics as Russell on definite descriptions and Kripke on names. He then shows how the key issue of meaning is itself rooted in the philosophy of mind and the question of intentionality--how the mind represents the world. He concludes with an examination of the different ways in which thought can be "about" individual material objects.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`an interesting book ... in terms of price, organization, clarity of expression, accuracy of content, and the provision of further reading and other aids to the student it is a model of its kind ... it is also an original work of philosophy in its own right'
The Philosophical Quarterly

`The book strikes a nice balance between exposition of standard material and the development of the author's own position. There is much in it to admire.'
History and Philosophy of Logic

Great for beginners in philosophy of language

June 25, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a great introduction into the world of philosophy of language and in particular, the debate between descriptivism and direct reference. It covers the major players in the game, namely, Frege, Russell and Kripke including Russell's later change of mind.
