The theory of descriptions: Russell and the philosophy of language
New York: Palgrave-Macmillan (2011)
Abstract
This book combines a historical and philosophical study of Russell's theory of descriptions. It defends, develops, and extends the theory as a contribution to natural language semantics while also arguing for a reassessment of the importance of linguistic inquiry to Russell's philosophical project.Author's Profile
