what's in a name?
from Pomodoro Breaks · host Panigrahi Nirma
Enter a linguistic revolution with Michael Devitt’s Reference and Beyond. This provocative collection shatters traditional views on how names and thoughts connect to reality. By stripping away abstract Platonic mysteries, Devitt grounds human communication in a gritty, physical, causal world. From the puzzling de se to the shocking idea that meaning is external to the mind, this book boldly redefines the semantic task. Forget what you knew; it is now time to put metaphysics first.
