Description
This book takes an approach to the perennial problems of reference and singular terms by separating the underlying issues into different levels of analysis. The split-level approach includes an account of singular thought, a systematic application of recent work in the theory of speech acts, and a partial revival of Russell's analysis of singular terms. Criticisms of competing views are provided as well.
