In this long-needed book, Jesper Kallestrup provides an invaluable map of the problem. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the theories of descriptivism and referentialism and the work of Frege and Kripke, Kallestrup moves on to analyse Putnam’s Twin Earth argument, Burge’s arthritis argument and Davidson’s Swampman argument. He also discusses how semantic externalism is at the heart of important topics such as indexical thoughts, epistemological scepticism, self-knowledge, and mental causation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding chapter summaries, a glossary of terms, and an annotated guide to further reading, \u003cem\u003eSemantic Externalism\u003c\/em\u003e is an ideal guide for students studying philosophy of language and philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607572103404,"sku":"9780415449960","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/778831ff8bd93d8d435bf3be35a131f3.jpg?v=1778188268"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jesper-kallestrup.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
