Echoing themes initially broached by such philosophers as Hilary Putnam and David Kaplan, Kit Fine answers with a novel conception of semantics uniting the two-sided connection of meaning with mind and world, and culminating in an ingenious, representationalist theory designed to incorporate contemporary Millianism while accommodating traditional Fregean intuitions. A delight to read, the book will be mined for its ideas and arguments for years to come.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e–Scott Soames\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Southern California\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eKit Fine (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9781405196697, Wiley\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback, published 29 July 2009\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e160 pages\u003cbr\u003e23.1 x 15.2 x 1.3 cm, 0.254 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroducing a new and ambitious position in the field, Kit Fine’s \u003ci\u003eSemantic Relationism\u003c\/i\u003e is a major contribution to the philosophy of language.  \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eA major contribution to the philosophy of language, now available in paperback\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by one of today’s most respected philosophers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArgues for a fundamentally new approach to the study of representation in language and thought\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProposes that there may be representational relationships between expressions or elements of thought that are not grounded in the intrinsic representational features of the expressions or elements themselves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForms part of the prestigious new \u003ci\u003eBlackwell\/Brown Lectures in Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e series, based on an ongoing series of lectures by today’s leading philosophers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
