Sense, Reference, and Philosophy By Jerrold J. Katz (Formerly Professor of Philosophy, Formerly Professor of Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center, New York)

Summary

Aims to develop the consequences for philosophy of adopting non-Fregean intensionalism, showing that long-standing problems in the philosophy of language, and indeed other areas, that appeared intractable can be solved. This work also examines some of those problems including the problem of the names, natural kind terms, and the Liar Paradox.

Sense, Reference, and Philosophy Summary

Sense, Reference, and Philosophy by Jerrold J. Katz (Formerly Professor of Philosophy, Formerly Professor of Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center, New York)

Sense, Reference, and Philosophy develops the far-reaching consequences for philosophy of adopting non-Fregean intensionalism, showing that long-standing problems in the philosophy of language, and indeed other areas, that appeared intractable can now be solved. Katz proceeds to examine some of those problems in this new light, including the problem of names, natural kind terms, the Liar Paradox, the distinction between logical and extra-logical vocabulary, and the Raven paradox. In each case, a non-Fregean intentionalism provides a philosophically more satisfying solution.

Sense, Reference, and Philosophy Reviews

Katz's book is a welcome addition to the literature, the product of a masterful philosopher of language and linguistics which lives up to expectations. * Eros Corazza, Disputatio *
