{"product_id":"propositions-robert-stalnaker-9780197647035","title":"Propositions: Ontology and Logic","description":"In the third volume in the Rutgers Lectures in Philosophy series, distinguished philosopher Robert Stalnaker here offers a defense of an ontology of propositions, and of some logical resources for representing them. He offers an austere formulation of a theory of propositions in a first-order extensional logic, but then uses the commitments of this theory to justify an enrichment to modal logic as an appropriate framework for regimented languages that are constructed to represent any of our scientific and philosophical commitments. His book adopts a self-consciously neo-Quinean methodology, and argues that the theory that is developed helps to motivate and clarify Quine's naturalistic metaphysical picture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Stalnaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197647030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197647035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.84w x 0.78d","brand":"Robert Stalnaker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076793561343,"sku":"9780197647035","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae1fefe5-3565-4c2e-98a1-e5245f2768c4.jpg?v=1685466832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/propositions-robert-stalnaker-9780197647035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
