Compare Beyond Rigidity by Scott Soames, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

In this fascinating work, Scott Soames offers a new conception of the relationship between linguistic meaning and assertions made by utterances. He gives meanings of proper names and natural kind predicates and explains their use in attitude ascriptions. He also demonstrates the irrelevance ofrigid designation in understanding why theoretical identities containing such predicates are necessary, if true. | Beyond Rigidity by Scott Soames, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
