No one seriously interested in the philosophy of language can afford to ignore the work of Michael Dummett (b. 1925).

After finding fault with approaches based on philosophical analysis and on translation, Bernhard Weiss undertakes an extended investigation of the program of constructing a theory of meaning and emphasizes the importance of use as...

Dummett argues that the aim of philosophy is the analysis of thought and that, with Frege, analytical philosophy learned that the route to the analysis of thought is the analysis of language. Here are bold and deep readings of the subject's history and character, which form the topic of this volume.
