Einband ist teilweise gelöst, berieben, bestoßen, vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Binding is partially detached, rubbed, bumped, yellowed, otherwise good condition. - In his investigation of problems in the philosophy of language Professor Searle takes the speech act as the fundamental concept and gives an analysis of what it is to make statements, ask questions, make promises, give orders, and so on, in terms of rules and intentional actions performed according to rules. The results of this analysis are then applied to current problems in philosophy: reference and description, universals, proper names, the derivation of ought from is. Professor Searle is particularly concerned to counter the fallacies which spring from the lack of a coherent theory of speech acts, and from the uncritical application of slogans like meaning is use. This kind of thinking links current philosophical and linguistic discussion, and the book should interest linguists as well as philosophers. ISBN 9780521096263 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 338
