Books by Bernhard Weiss

Michael Dummett's approach to the metaphysical issue of realism through the philosophy of language, his challenge to realism, and his philosophy of language itself are central topics in analytic philosophy. This book offers a systematic presentation of the main elements of Dummett's philosophy.

Why are philosophers, as opposed to, say, linguists and psychologists, puzzled by language? How should we attempt to shed philosophical light on the phenomenon of language? This title answers these two questions.
