François-René de Chateaubriand

This book traces the linguistic turns in the history of modern philosophy and the development of the philosophy of language from Locke to Wittgenstein. It examines the contributions of canonical figures such as Leibniz, Mill, Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, and Davidson, as well as those of Condillac, Humboldt, Chomsky, and Derrida. Michael Losonsky argues that the philosophy of language begins with Lockes Essay Concerning Human Understanding. He shows how the history of the philosophy of language in the modern period is marked by a dichotomy between formal and pragmatic perspectives on language and that modern philosophy has not been able to integrate these two aspects of human language. Language as a human activity and language as a syntactic and semantic system remain distinct and competing focal points, although the interplay between these points of view has driven the development of the philosophy of language.

"También estoy satisfecha porque sé que estoy cumpliendo la voluntad de mi marido. En un testamento muy informal escribió: "Deseo que mi querida esposa tenga la fortaleza necesaria para vivir aún durante muchos años, y para hacer, en el transcurso de los mismos, cuanto crea mejor para mantener viva la memoria de los pensamientos que he expresado en mis escritos". Asi he intentado hacerlo, y lo seguire haciendo. Estoy segura: Jose estaria complacido de que su DICCIONARIO siga vivo."PRISCILLA COHN FERRATER MORA"El objetivo de esta nueva edicion -a los quince años de la ultima preparada por Ferrater- se puede formular de un modo simple: se ha querido actualizar el DICCIONARIO conservando fielmente el caracter de la obra y, muy especialmente, dos aspectos subrayados ya por el autor en su Prologo a la sexta edicion: de una parte, el rigor y la exactitud de la informacion; de otra, la abertura amplia y ecumenica del DICCIONARIO."JOSEP-MARIA TERRICABRAS

This is an engaging and accessible introduction to the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle''s great masterpiece of moral philosophy. Michael Pakaluk offers a thorough and lucid examination of the entire work, uncovering Aristotle''s motivations and basic views while paying careful attention to his arguments. The chapter on friendship captures Aristotle''s doctrine with clarity and insight, and Pakaluk gives original and compelling interpretations of the Function Argument, the Doctrine of the Mean, courage and other character virtues, Akrasia, and the two treatments of pleasure. There is also a useful section on how to read an Aristotelian text. This book will be invaluable for all student readers encountering one of the most important and influential works of Western philosophy.

Ludwig Wittgenstein''s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is one of the most important books of the twentieth century. It influenced philosophers and artists alike and it continues to fascinate readers today. It offers rigorous arguments but clothes them in enigmatic pronouncements. Wittgenstein himself said that his book is strictly philosophical and simultaneously literary, and yet there is no blathering in it. This introduction considers both the philosophical and the literary aspects of the Tractatus and shows how they are related. It also shows how the work fits into Wittgenstein''s philosophical development and the tradition of analytic philosophy, arguing strongly for the vigour and significance of that tradition.
