The book delves into a wide array of philosophical issues, challenging the prevailing orthodoxies of its era. Its central focus lies in the concept of meaning, exploring not only how individuals perceive and interpret meanings but also the implications of such practices. The author challenges the notion that there exists a singular approach to understanding meanings and argues that no single analysis can adequately capture the complexities of lexicographers, language teachers, translators, logicians, historians of ideas, psychologists, and philosophers. Through an examination of various common notions of meaning and their interconnections, the book sheds light on the topics that were most contentious in philosophical discourse at the time of publication, ensuring its enduring relevance for those interested in the history of philosophical thought and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 870g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367771997\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.
