Description

Mitchell Green's The Philosophy of Language is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate philosophy of language courses. Featuring a lucid and engaging writing style, it provides a succinct and accessible introduction to the field. Designed for ready use with primary sources, it offers numerous pointers to work from classic and contemporary philosophers, including Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Kripke, Davidson, Quine, Grice, and others. The book also highlights contemporary research, including non-ideal philosophy of language--such as work on slurs and communicative injustice--and the relation of language to aesthetic questions through such topics as fictional discourse, metaphor, and irony. Each chapter is enhanced by study questions and suggestions for further reading. An appendix and a glossary facilitate quick retrieval of many of the high-level concepts.
