Heimir Geirsson

Philosophy of Language and Webs of Information

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Geirsson's account of the nature of propositions and the cognitive value of names focuses on subjects organizing information in webs; a name can then access and elicit information from a given web. He proceeds to extend the account of information to non-referring names that have long provided a serious challenge to the causal reference theorist.
