Summary

Francois Recanati presents a ground-breaking study of the context-dependence of our language and thought. He argues that our linguistic and mental representations alike must be assigned two layers of content: the explicit content, which is relative and perspectival, and the complete content, which is absolute and involves contextual factors.

Perspectival Thought by Franois Recanati

Francois Recanati presents a ground-breaking study of the context-dependence of our language and thought. He argues that our linguistic and mental representations alike must be assigned two layers of content: the explicit content, which is relative and perspectival, and the complete content, which is absolute and involves contextual factors.
Recanati has presented a work full of insights, important theoretical distinctions, and careful and detailed arguments, with a myriad of inspiring examples.. Perspectival Thought is a must for anyone with interest in current and future debates in the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. * Kepa Korta, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
François Recanati is Director of Research, CNRS (Institut Jean-Nicod), and Arché Professorial Fellow, University of St Andrews.
