The Seas of Language

Michael Dummett is one of the most important and influential of contemporary philosophers; this title covers his work in the closely related fields of metaphysics and the philosophy of language.

His observations are of great interest ... The publishers should be thanked for making it less likely that these important papers will escape the attention of philosophers.
