Review of Metaphysics 54 (2):419-420 (2000)

Abstract

This interesting and, I suspect, important book is focused on two basic questions: paradox and the author’s answer to it. The paradox is one that arises from assuming “that the only way to analyze the capacity to think a particular range of thoughts is by analyzing the capacity for the canonical linguistic expression of those thoughts ”.
