Reviews

the publication of this book is most welcome. It collects together for the first time a group of papers by one of the most original, provocative and influencial philosophers of language of the last three decades... It is an absolute must for philosophers of language, philosophers of the mind and epistemologists alike, and very warmly recommended to any philosopher with an interest in its topics. I've learnt much from studying the papers included in it, and I'm sure that many other readers will do as well.
