Ostali autori: Donald Davidson (ed.) Opis: Hardcover with Dust Jacket, Book Condition Very Good, Dust Jacket torn on edges. Essays on the work of W. V. Quine edited by D. Davidson and J. Hintikka. Revised Edition. It is gratifying to see that philosophers’ continued interest in Words and Objections has been so strong as to motivate a paperback edition. This is gratifying because it vindicates the editors’ belief in the permanent im portance of Quine’s philosophy and in the value of the papers com menting on it which were collected in our volume. Apart from a couple of small corrections, only one change has been made. The list of Professor Quine’s writings has been brought up to date. The editors cannot claim any credit for this improvement, however. We have not tried to imitate the Library of Living Philosophers volumes and to include Professor Quine’s autobiography in this volume, but we are fortunate to publish here his brand-new auto bibliography.

Approaches to Natural Language

Hardcover with Dust Jacket, Condition Very Good. Proceedings of the 1970 Stanford Workshop on Grammar and Semantics. Editors. K.J.J. Hintikka, J.M.E. Moravcsik and P. Suppes. The papers and comments published in the present volume represent the proceedings of a research workshop on the grammar and semantics of natural languages held at Stanford University in the fall of 1970. The workshop met first for three days in September and then for a period of two days in November for extended discussion and analysis. The workshop was sponsored by the Committee on Basic Research in Education, which has been funded by the United States Office of Education through a grant to the National Academy of Education and the National Academy of Sciences – National Research Council. We acknowledge with pleasure the sponsorship which made possible a series oflively and stimulating meetings that were both enjoyable and instructive for the three of us, and, we hope, for most of the participants, including a number of local linguists and philosophers who did not contribute papers but actively joined in the discussion. One of the central participants in the workshop was Richard Montague. We record our sense of loss at his tragic death early in 1971, and we dedicate this volume to his memory. None of the papers in the present volume discusses explicitly problems of education. In our view such a discussion is neither necessary nor sufficient for a contribution to basic research in education. There are in fact good reasons why the kind of work reported in the present volume constitutes an important aspect of basic research in education.
