About this deck

The philosophy of language is the philosophical investigation of meaning, reference, truth, and the relation of language to thought and world. As an organised research programme, it is the central achievement of analytic philosophy — the discipline that, in the early 20th century, redirected philosophical attention from the structure of consciousness to the structure of language. Key sections include: Philosophy of Language.; Opening The linguistic turn.; Chapter I Frege founds the field.; Chapter II Russell on descriptions.; Chapter III The Tractatus.; Chapter IV The Vienna Circle.; Chapter V The later Wittgenstein.; Chapter VI Austin and speech acts.; Chapter VII Grice on implicature.; Chapter VIII Quine's two dogmas..
