Philosophy of Language by Susana Nuccetelli
This collection of classic and contemporary essays in philosophy of language offers a concise introduction to the field for students in graduate and upper-division undergraduate courses. It contains some of the most important basic sources in philosophy of language, including a number of classic essays by philosophers such as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Kripke, Grice, Davidson, Strawson, Austin, and Putnam, as well as more recent contributions by scholars including John McDowell, Stephen Neale, Ruth Millikan, Stephen Schiffer, Paul Horwich, and Anthony Brueckner, among others, who are on the leading edge of innovation in this increasingly influential area of philosophy. The result is a lively mix of readings, together with the editors' discussions of the material, which provides a rigorous introduction to the subject.
This collection would make an excellent text for an advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate course in the philosophy of languageIts particular choice of readings is very good and not available in any other collection; its conceptualization of the subject and focus is extremely well suited for its intended audience, and the editors' introductions are substantive and helpful. -- Stephen Schiffer, New York University
