Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is the forum for the best new work in this flourishing field. Much of the most interesting work in philosophy today is metaphysical in character: this series is a much-needed focus for it. OSM offers a broad view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation, but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in neighbouring fields, such as philosophy ofmind and philosophy of science. Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a critical essay on a recent book, or a symp

mit "Logos der Vernunft" und "Logos des Glaubens" sind zwei wesentliche Komponenten der abendländischen Kultur am Anfang der christlichen Zeitrechnung gemeint. Einerseits steht die klassische Überlieferung mit ihrem umfassenden Anspruch, die Wahrheit über die Wirklichkeit kraft des Logos erfasst zu haben. Andererseits steht die christliche Botschaft, die im Logos die Selbstoffenbarung Gottes in der Gestalt seines Sohnes verkündet, und daraus ebenfalls den Anspruch ableitet, die Wahrheit über Gott, den Menschen und die Welt zu besitzen. Die semantische Mehrdeutigkeit des Terminus "Logos" bot den Raum für eine Auseinandersetzung, die sich im Kreis der Gebildeten entfaltete. - Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes zeigen Aspekte der Kontroverse und versuchen, den Zusammenhang von Kultur, Glaube und Überlieferung auf seinem historischen Hintergrund zu erhellen.

Singular reference to ourselves and the ordinary objects surrounding us is a most crucial philosophical topic, for it looms large in any attempt to understand how language and mind connect to the world. This book explains in detail why in the past philosophers such as Frege, Russell and Reichenbach have favoured a descriptivist approach to this matter and why in more recent times Donnellan, Kripke, Kaplan and others have rather favoured a referentialist standpoint. The now dominant referentialist theories however still have a hard time in addressing propositional attitudes and empty singular terms. Here a way out of this difficulty emerges in an approach that incorporates aspects of the old-fashioned descriptivist views of Frege, Russell and Reichenbach without succumbing to the anti-descriptivist arguments that back up the current referentialist trend. The resulting theory features a novel approach to the semantics and pragmatics of determiner phrases, definite descriptions, proper names and indexicals, all treated in uniform fashion in both their anaphoric and non-anaphoric uses. This work will be of interest to researchers in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and theoretical linguistics. The wealth of background information and detailed explanations that it provides makes it also accessible to graduate and upper level undergraduates and suitable as a reference book.
