The Game of the Name: Introducing Logic, Language, and Mind by Gregory McCulloch

Description: The Game of the Name by Gregory McCulloch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The recent growth in the field of cognitive science has stimulated growth of research into the ways in which these areas of language and mind are linked, but until now there has been no book which outlined the new work in the overlapping area in a way accessible to students. This book is a good introduction to analytic philosophy. Publisher Description This book is a good introduction to modern work in an important field of analytic philosophy. The main concerns of analytic philosophy are the investigation of language and the analysis of mind. Work on the former is shaped by the seminal logical theories of Frege, whilst work on the latter is mainly concerned with materialism. It has long been recognized that the two are intimately connected. The recent growth of cognitive science has stimulated new work in theoverlapping areas, much of which is unfortunately inaccessible to undergraduates. In this introduction to the subject, the author gives a clear explanation of Freges basic logicalideas, and explains their application to ordinary language. He then shows how meaning is itself rooted in the philosophy of mind, and the question of intentionality - how the mind represents the world. He concludes with an examination of the different ways in which thought can be about individual material objects. Author Biography Gregory McCulloch is at University of Nottingham.
