Books by Paul (Professor of Philosophy Horwich

Presents an original theory of meaning, demonstrates its richness, and defends it against all comers. The author surveys the diversity of twentieth-century philosophical insights into meaning and shows that his theory can reconcile these with a common-sense view of meaning as derived from use.

Paul Horwich gives the definitive exposition of a prominent philosophical theory about truth, 'minimalism'. This edition appears simultaneously with a companion volume, "Meaning"; the two books demystify central philosophical issues, and will be a useful reading for those who work on the philosophy of language.
