The Varieties of Reference by Gareth Evans
Gareth Evans, one of the most brilliant philosophers of his generation, died in 1980 at the age of thirty-four. He had been working for many years on a book about reference, but did not complete it before his death. The work was edited for publication by John McDowell, who contributes a Preface.
`A brilliant example of contemporary analysis.. I would enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in problems of reference, logic, epistemology, philosophy of mind, or existence - and that should be every philosopher.'Philosophical Studies `a powerful, coherent work' Times Literary Supplement
Evans, Garth: - Garth Evans (b. 1934, Manchester, UK) is central to the narrative of British sculpture. Since the 1960s, Evans has exhibited widely across the UK and United States.
