Facing Facts

Stephen Neale presents a powerful, original examination of a cornerstone of modern philosophy: the idea that our thoughts and utterances are representations of reality, that accurate or true representations are those that correspond to the facts. Facing Facts will be crucial to future work in metaphysics, logic, and the philosophy of mind and language, and will have profound implications far beyond.

"A masterful summary of current linguistic and semantic theory. . . . Neale has combined recent developments in semantics. linguistics, and philosophical logic into a systematic and stylishly presented position. This is the book to read to find the latest on the theory of reference." -- Bernard Linsky, "Dialogue" Stephen Neale provides the first sustained defense, extension, and application of Bertrand Russell's Theory of Descriptions. He systematically critiques traditional arguments against this paradigm of philosophy and lucidly demontrates its importance to contemporary theories of syntax and semantics and to philosophical inquiry.

Descriptions

Bradford Books

In 1905, Bertrand Russell argued that certain logical puzzles are solved if definite descriptions are treated as quantified expressions rather than referential expression, as Frege had thought. Since then, philosophers and, more recently, linguists have debated the relevance of this paradigm to the study of the semantics of natural language. In Descriptions, Stephen Neale provides the first sustained defense and extension of Russell's theory, placing it in the center of a theory of singular and nonsingular descriptive phrases and anaphoric pronouns.
