Meanings and other things : themes from the work of Stephen Schiffer
Ostertag, Gary (ed.)
"Stephen Schiffer's writing has been central to analytic philosophy of language and mind since the 1970s. In 1972 his book 'Meaning' launched an important research program into Gricean, or intention-based, approaches to linguistic meaning, which would come to dominate much subsequent theorizing about language. A sea change occurred in 1987 with the publication of 'Remnants of Meaning'. Schiffer here repudiated the project initiated by 'Meaning', arguing that the theory of public-language meaning it described and the account of mental representation it required were based on false presuppositions. The ramifications here were far reaching and set the agenda for discussions in the philosophy of language and mind for a generation. In 2003, 'The Things We Mean' initiated a more positive program, but one informed by the negative results of 'Remnants'. 'Things' also reflected the broadening of Schiffer's concerns, which now extended to metaphysics, metaethics, and the skeptical paradoxes. In 'Meanings and Other Things,' fourteen leading philosophers explore central themes in Schiffer's writings. Topics range from the nature of paradox and the problem of vagueness to the ontology of propositions and the semantics of belief reports. The volume also contains a comprehensive introduction describing the evolution of Schiffer's thought and closes with Schiffer's replies to his critics. These essays bring us up to date on Schiffer's current thinking on the themes that have defined not only his career, but philosophy of language as it is now practised."--
