Description
Through detailed criticism of standard interpretations of key arguments in analytical philosophy over the last 60 years, Ebbs arrives at a new conception of the task of the philosophy of language. Reexamining and extending arguments by Kripke, Quine, Carnap, Putnam, and Burge, Ebbs presents systematic redescriptions of our linguistic practices.
