Conjoining Meanings: Semantics Without Truth Values
Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University Press (2018)
Abstract
Paul M. Pietroski presents an ambitious new account of human languages as generative procedures that respect substantive constraints. He argues that meanings are neither concepts nor extensions, and sentences do not have truth conditions; meanings are composable instructions for how to access and assemble concepts of a special sort.Author's Profile
