{"product_id":"9780199272020","title":"Two-Dimensional Semantics","description":"According to two-dimensional semantics, the meaning of an expression involves two different \"dimensions\": one dimension involves reference and truth-conditions of a familiar sort, while the other dimension involves the way that reference and truth-conditions depend on the external world (for example, reference and truth-conditions might be held to depend on which individuals and substances are present in the world, or on which linguistic conventions are in place). Anumber of different two-dimensional frameworks have been developed, and these have been applied to a number of fundamental problems in philosophy: the nature of communication, the relation between the necessary and the a priori, the role of context in assertion, Frege's distinction between sense andreference, the contents of thought, and the mind-body problem. Manuel Garcia-Carpintero and Josep Macia present a selection of new essays by an outstanding international team, shedding fresh light  both on foundational issues regarding two-dimensional semantics and on its specific applications. The volume will be the starting-point for future work on this approach to issues in philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.","brand":"Manuel Garcia-Carpintero, Josep Macia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45744291316030,"sku":"9780199272020","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780199272020_a98cde9e-e3a2-4f28-8373-6741f73ab7a5.jpg?v=1707223738","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780199272020","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
