Rezension zu „Arguing about Language “
When first I read it my immediate thought was: I would like to use this book for a philosophy of language course. There is, I think, a fine balance between classic and contemporary readings. And one thing I find especially laudable is that instead of, somewhat mindlessly, having chosen the most well-known readings on a topic, the editors have gone for quality and so have made some unconventional choices. Matti Eklund, Cornell University, USA Byrne and Kolbel have chosen well. Their fifteen parts span the full spectrum of topics in philosophy of language. Each part includes two or three pivotal and provocative readings. Some are by household names like Russell and Chomsky. Others are little known gems that will pleasantly surprise even experts. The editors also do a superb job of helping readers to appreciate the import and value of the debates. The full package -- the readings, overviews, guidance questions, and pointers to further readings -- should enable students and others to discover and engage with opposing views in a fascinating and resurgent field of philosophy.
