Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XVI, 275 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben und bestoßen, Fußschnitt angeschmutzt, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz / lightly rubbed and scuffed, bottom edge soiled, pencil entry on endpaper. - This book traces the linguistic turns in the history of modern philosophy and the development of the philosophy of language from Locke to Wittgenstein. It examines the contributions of canonical figures such as Leibniz, Mill, Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, and Davidson, as well as those of Condillac, Humboldt, Chomsky, and Derrida. Michael Losonsky argues that the philosophy of language begins with Lockes Essay Concerning Human Understanding. He shows how the history of the philosophy of language in the modern period is marked by a dichotomy between formal and pragmatic perspectives on language and that modern philosophy has not been able to integrate these two aspects of human language. Language as a human activity and language as a syntactic and semantic system remain distinct and competing focal points, although the interplay between these points of view has driven the development of the philosophy of language. / Contents Preface 1 Lockes Linguistic Turn 2 The Road to Locke 3 Of Angels and Human Beings 4 The Form of a Language 5 The Import of Propositions 6 The Value of a Function 7 From Silence to Assent 8 The Whimsy of Language Bibliography Index.
