He introduced lasting innovations in the philosophy of language and philosophical logic. Just as important, however, is Kaplan's way of doing philosophy; generous but incisive, his profoundly interactive style mentored countless generations of students, many of whom contribute to this volume.     This volume collects new, previously unpublished articles on Kaplan, analyzing a broad spectrum of topics ranging from cutting edge linguistics and the philosophy of mathematics, to metaphysics, the foundations of pragmatics, and the theory of communication.     With its historical introduction and personal tributes, The Philosophy of David Kaplan also reveals much of Kaplan's life and times, highlighting the key players of analytic philosophy of the last century, and underscoring Kaplan's substantial impact on contemporary philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554362630417,"sku":"GOR013577814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50485854667025,"sku":"CIN019536788XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149165785361,"sku":"NLS9780195367881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/019536788X.jpg?v=1750738033"},{"product_id":"cogito-book-joseph-almog-9780195337716","title":"Cogito?","description":"Decartes' maxim Cogito, Ergo Sum (from his Meditations) is perhaps the most famous philosophical expression ever coined. Joseph Almog is a Descartes analyst whose last book WHAT AM I? focused on the second half of this expression, Sum-who is the \"I\" who is existing-and-thinking and how does this entity somehow incorporate both body and mind? This volume looks at the first half of the proposition-cogito. Almog calls this the \"thinking man's paradox\": how can there be, in the the natural world and as part and parcel of it, a creature that... thinks? Descartes' proposition declares that such a fact obtains and he maintains that it is self-evident; but as Almog points out, from the point of view of Descartes' own skepticism, it is far from obvious that there could be a thinking-man. How can it be that a thinking human be both part of the natural world and yet somehow distinct and separate from it? How did \"thinking\" arise in an otherwise \"thoughtless\" universe and what does it mean for beings like us to be thinkers? Almog goes back to the Meditations, and using Descartes' own aposteriori cognitive methodology-his naturalistic, scientific, approach to the study of man-tries to answer the question.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52132039754001,"sku":"NLS9780195337716","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195337716.jpg?v=1776940325"},{"product_id":"themes-from-kaplan-book-joseph-almog-9780195052176","title":"Themes from Kaplan","description":"This anthology is composed of articles derived from a conference, entitled \"Themes from Kaplan\", at Stanford University which discussed the work of David Kaplan, a leading contemporary philosopher of language. A variety of philosophers participated in the conference including Robert Adams, Roderick Chisholme, Nathan Salmon, and Scott Soames. Their papers treat a broad range of themes related to Kaplan's work: some address his work directly, others are independent treatments of issues provoked by Kaplan's thought. The book also contains Kaplan's own previously unpublished essay, \"Demonstratives.\"This essay formed the basis of Kaplan's John Locke lectures at Oxford. The essay has been one of the most influential pieces in the philosophy of language over the last twenty years.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52336167485713,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336168206609,"sku":"NLS9780195052176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195052176.jpg?v=1758162460"},{"product_id":"what-am-i-book-joseph-almog-9780195177190","title":"What Am I?","description":"How can Mind, Body and Being be independent entities, yet joined in a single human being? This book decodes Descartes' argument for distinguishing between the trio, while maintaining their integration in a human being. It argues that Descartes constructed a solution whereby the trio are interdependent, yet remain each a genuine individual subject.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52353374486801,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52353374847249,"sku":"NLS9780195177190","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195177190.jpg?v=1758182876"},{"product_id":"everything-in-its-right-place-book-joseph-almog-9780199314393","title":"Everything in Its Right Place","description":"In Everything in Its Right Place, Joseph Almog develops the unitarian and universalist metaphysics of Spinoza.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615555383569,"sku":"NLS9780199314393","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199314393.jpg?v=1776939043"},{"product_id":"having-in-mind-book-joseph-almog-9780199844845","title":"Having in Mind","description":"Keith Donnellan of UCLA is one of the founding fathers of contemporary philosophy of language, along with David Kaplan and Saul Kripke. Donnellan was and is an extremely creative thinker whose insights reached into metaphysics, action theory, the history of philosophy, and of course the philosophy of mind and language. This volume collects the best critical essays on Donnellan's forty-year body of work. The pieces by such noted philosophers as Tyler Burge, David Kaplan, and John Perry, discuss Donnellan's various insights particularly offering new readings of his views on language and mind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616165359889,"sku":"NLS9780199844845","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199844845.jpg?v=1761526371"},{"product_id":"referential-mechanics-book-joseph-almog-9780199314379","title":"Referential Mechanics","description":"This volume is focused on understanding a key idea in modern semantics-direct reference-and its integration into a general semantics for natural language.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616212709649,"sku":"NLS9780199314379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199314379.jpg?v=1776939000"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-joseph-almog.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
