Abstract

This book examines John Locke's claims about the nature and workings of language. Walter Ott proposes an interpretation of Locke's thesis in which words signify ideas in the mind of the speaker, and argues that rather than employing such notions as sense or reference, Locke relies on an ancient tradition that understands signification as reliable indication. He then uses this interpretation to explain crucial areas of Locke's metaphysics and epistemology, including essence, abstraction, knowledge and mental representation. His discussion challenges many of the orthodox readings of Locke, and will be of interest to historians of philosophy and philosophers of language alike.

Abstract

This volume presents the first book-length study of Augustine's philosophy of language. Taking as its theme the relation of language and thought, it highlights the tension in Augustine's philosophy between a pointed epistemological devaluation of language and a profound consciousness of its ineluctability in tracing the development of his linguistic and cognitive theories. Philosophical-historical considerations brought into play include the Aristotelian-Stoic foundations of Augustine's epistemology and philosophy of language as mediated through Cicero as well as the critical engagement of medieval philosophers such as Gregorius Ariminensis and Nicolaus Cusanus with central Augustinian tenets. Finally, a look at selected texts of Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Wilhelm von Humboldt provides a modern critical perspective on Augustine's philosophy of language.Es gibt bisher keine Monographie, die sich exklusiv der Augustinischen Sprachphilosophie widmet. Gegenstand dieses Buches sind die philosophischen Reflexionen Augustins zum Thema ›Sprache und Erkenntnis‹. Es zeigt Augustin als Denker, der sich in einem Spannungsverhältnis erkenntnistheoretischer Abwertung der Sprache einerseits und dem Bewuîtsein der Unverzichtbarkeit der Sprache andererseits bewegt. Als philosophiehistorische Studie beschreibt die Arbeit zunächst die - besonders durch Cicero vermittelten - aristotelisch-stoischen Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen der Augustinischen Erkenntnis- und Sprach-theorie, um sie dann in verschiedenen Texten Augustins nachzuweisen. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert der Band die Entwicklung der Sprach- und Erkenntnisauffassung Augustins. In einem weiteren Kapitel wird sodann die kritische Auseinandersetzung mittelalterlicher Autoren mit Augustinischen Theoremen untersucht - exemplarisch analysiert werden Texte Gregors von Rimini und Nikolaus' von Kues. Der letzte Abschnitt blickt - stets mit Rücksicht auf die historische Distanz - anhand ausgewählter Texte Johann Gottlieb Fichtes und Wilhelm von Humboldts aus der Perspektive neuzeitlicher Kontraste kritisch auf die Sprach-theorie Augustins zurück.

The commentaries are by Ammonius, Boethius, Abelaerd, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Acquinas, Martinus de Dacia, Johannes a S. Thoma, and James Harris. Each commentary is in turn commented upon by the compiler of this volume.

Abstract

This book provides a novel interpretation of the ideas about language in Wittgenstein's 'Philosophical Investigations'. In particular, the author places the 'private language argument' in the context of wider themes in the Investigations, and thereby develops a picture of what it is for words to bear the meaning they do. Travis elaborates two versions of a private language argument, and shows the consequences of these for current trends in the philosophical theory of meaning.

Abstract

Wittgenstein, Mind and Meaning offers a provocative re-reading of Wittgenstein's later writings on language and mind, and explores the tensions between Wittgenstein's ideas and contemporary cognitivist conceptions of the mental. This book addresses both Wittgenstein's later works as well as contemporary issues in philosophy of mind. It provides fresh insight into the later Wittgenstein and raises vital questions about the foundations of cognitivism and its wider implications for psychology and cognitive science.
