This book is about Gottlob Frege. The guiding thought is that Frege left philosophy a legacy which has been largely ignored, not least of all by his admirers. In order of logical priority, Frege's first concern was to locate the law-like behaviour of truths and falsehoods merely by virtue of their being such (in his terms, the structure of Wahrsein). The just-mentioned legacy lies in his first step towards that goal. It consists in winnowing the 'logical' from the 'psychological', the busi...

Environment as a Weapon considers how the confluence of war and nature from the time of the Agricultural Revolution (10,000 BCE) to our present day has been represented in works of history, geography, and literature. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Torah and Greco-Roman myths, warfare is a trope commensurate with environmental disasters, extreme climate, and plague. In the medieval age myths the Táin, and Beowulf environments become allies and enemies. The equestrian steppeland as foundation...

This volume offers a collective critical engagement with the thought of Charles Travis, a leading contemporary philosopher of language and mind, and a scholar of the history of analytical philosophy. The work of Charles Travis is fundamentally situated in the analytical tradition, yet is also radically at odds with many assumptions characteristic of the tradition, especially as regards the nature of language and perception as representational capacities. Twelve philosophers explore themes ...

“A remarkable book capable of reshaping what one takes philosophy to be.”—Cora Diamond, Kenan Professor of Philosophy Emerita, University of VirginiaCould there be a logical alien—a being whose ways of talking, inferring, and contradicting exhibit an entirely different logical shape than ours, yet who nonetheless is thinking? Could someone, contrary to the most basic rules of logic, think that two contradictory statements are both true at the same t...

Esta teoría no solo es una muy buena ruta alterna de elucidación de la naturaleza del contenido semántico, sino que hace que la filosofía del lenguaje se replantee la formulación de su problema central: el de la relación entre semántica y pragmática. Las fronteras de ambas no están bien delimitadas, como lo suponen las teorías contemporáneas. Con una imagen wittgensteiniana, lo que se quiere mostrar es que el lenguaje es como un río: tiene una dimensión que fluye como el agua, la pragmátic...

Eberhard Jüngel (1934-2021) belongs to the most creative, wide-ranging, rigorous, and demanding voices in twentieth-century Protestant theology. Over a long and distinguished career, Jüngel grappled with topics such as revelation, responsible talk about God, God's triunity, Christology, the nature of theological language, analogy, divine and human freedom, love, atheism, and theological approaches to the state. In all this, he had followed, perceptively yet critically, in the footsteps not...

This volume explores the role of some of the most prominent twentieth-century philosophers and political thinkers as teachers. It examines how these teachers conveyed truth to their students against the ideological influences found in the university and society. Philosophers from Edmund Husserl and Hannah Arendt to political thinkers like Eric Voegelin and Leo Strauss, and their students such as Ellis Sandoz, Stanley Rosen, and Harvey Mansfield, are in this volume as teachers who analyze, ...

Healing the sick, bringing freedom from evil spirits, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God--these instructions are the core of what Jesus commanded the Twelve and seventy to do as he sent them out on mission. Missiology--the study of mission--explores how the good news of the kingdom of God and of Jesus is communicated across cultures. Many involved in mission have found that this communication requires more than words; it also entails visible demonstrations of God's power to he...
