Beschreibung:
This book expounds and defends a new conception of the relation between truth and meaning. The author's thesis is that the sense of a sense-general sentence radically underdetermines (independently of indexicality) its truth-conditional content. He applies this linguistic analysis to shed new light on old and new philosophical problems of meaning, truth, falsity, negation, existence, presupposition, and implicature.
Introduction; Abstract ideas, abstract art, and abstract language; Ambiguity and the generality of sense; Making new sense of negation, presupposition, and non-existence: A case-study of philosophical linguistics; Understanding utterances: Figuring out what sentences `Portray'; Appendix; Metaphysical ambiguity: Is `Exists' ambiguous?
