Language, Truth, and Reality

Résumé du livre

This edited volume contains philosophical essays on three central topics in analytic philosophy: the nature of reality in which we live, the nature of truth of claims or thoughts about reality, and the nature of language expressing these thoughts and referring to reality. The volume also contains novel philosophical reflection on the nature of philosophy itself. The authors include leading philosophers and younger colleagues of Panu Raatikainen, Professor of Philosophy at Tampere University. This Festschrift offers a mosaic overview of his multifaceted contributions in philosophy by bringing together essays from his teachers, students, friends, and colleagues past and present. The articles engage in critical, constructive dialogue with Raatikainen's key ideas and arguments.
