{"product_id":"semantic-externalism-jesper-kallestrup-9780415449977","title":"Semantic Externalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eSemantic externalism is the view that the meanings of referring terms, and the contents of beliefs that are expressed by those terms, are not fully determined by factors internal to the speaker but are instead bound up with the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe debate about semantic externalism is one of the most important but difficult topics in philosophy of mind and language, and has consequences for our understanding of the role of social institutions and the physical environment in constituting language and the mind. In this long-needed book, Jesper Kallestrup provides an invaluable map of the problem. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the theories of descriptivism and referentialism and the work of Frege and Kripke, Kallestrup moves on to analyse Putnam's Twin Earth argument, Burge's arthritis argument and Davidson's Swampman argument. He also discusses how semantic externalism is at the heart of important topics such as indexical thoughts, epistemological skepticism, self-knowledge, and mental causation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluding chapter summaries, a glossary of terms, and an annotated guide to further reading, \u003cem\u003eSemantic Externalism\u003c\/em\u003e an ideal guide for students studying philosophy of language and philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesper Kallestrup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415449979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415449977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012","brand":"Jesper Kallestrup","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138399858943,"sku":"9780415449977","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_248c1c55-56f7-4d2d-83b4-2a2b0bf8bce8.jpg?v=1687899453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/semantic-externalism-jesper-kallestrup-9780415449977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
