Synopsis
The aim of this volume is to provide an introduction to modern work in the field of analytic philosophy and the investigation of language and the mind. The text contains an explanation of Frege's logical theories and examines the application of these theories to ordinary language, including such topics as Russell on definite descriptions and Kripke on names. The author explains how the key issue of meaning is itself rooted in the philosophy of mind and the question of internationality - how the mind represents the world. He concludes with an examination of the different ways in which thought can be applied to individual material objects. This text has been designed primarily as an introduction for undergraduates taking courses in the philosophy of language or mind.

Review
`an interesting book ... in terms of price, organization, clarity of expression, accuracy of content, and the provision of further reading and other aids to the student it is a model of its kind ... it is also an original work of philosophy in its own right' The Philosophical Quarterly
`The book strikes a nice balance between exposition of standard material and the development of the author's own position. There is much in it to admire.' History and Philosophy of Logic
