O autorze

Michael Glanzberg (Ph.D. Harvard, 1997) taught at MIT, the University of Toronto, and the University of California, Davis before joining Northwestern University. He works in the areas of philosophy of language, logic, and metaphysics. In philosophy of language, his recent work has focused on the nature of linguistic meaning, including such topic as the nature of quantification, how lexical items encode concepts, and relativism about linguistic content. He has also explored issues related to the interface between semantics, pragmatics, and syntax, and the role of mathematical techniques in the empirical study of language. In philosophical logic and in metaphysics, he has worked extensively on issues related to truth and paradox, and the status of unrestricted quantification.
