{"product_id":"ontology-modality-and-the-fallacy-michael-jubien-9780521108577","title":"Ontology, Modality and the Fallacy of Reference","description":"This is a book about the concept of a physical thing and about how the names of things relate to the things they name. It questions the prevalent view that names 'refer to' or 'denote' the things they name. Instead it presents a new theory of proper names, according to which names express certain special properties that the things they name exhibit. This theory leads to some important conclusions about whether things have any of their properties as a matter of necessity. This will be an important book for philosophers in metaphysics and the philosophy of language, though it will also interest linguists concerned with the semantics of natural language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jubien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521108578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521108577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Michael Jubien","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946708795647,"sku":"9780521108577","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9fe574b2-e2d5-42b7-9e70-a858a3b464c3.jpg?v=1681514684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ontology-modality-and-the-fallacy-michael-jubien-9780521108577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
