Act-Based Conceptions of Propositional Content
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-937357-4 (ISBN)
The act-based perspective historically goes back to the work of Central European philosophers, in particular that of Husserl, Twardowski, Meinong, and Reinach. However, their work has been unduly neglected and is in fact largely inaccessible to contemporary analytic philosophers. The volume presents a central selection of work of these philosophers that bear on an act-based conception of philosophical content, some of which in new translations (one paper by Reinach), some of which published in English for the very first time (two papers by Twardowski).
In addition, the volume presents new work by leading contemporary philosophers of language pursuing or discussing an act-based conception of propositional content. Moreover, the book contains a crosslinguistic study of nominalizations for actions and products, a distinction that plays a central role in the philosophy of language of Twardowski.
Friederike Moltmann is senior researcher at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and at New York University. She has published numerous articles in both linguistic and philosophical journals and is author of Parts and Wholes in Semantic (OUP,1997) and Abstract Objects and the Semantics of Natural Language (OUP 2013). Mark Textor is professor of philosophy in King's College London. He works on history of philosophy, especially analytic philosophy, philosophy of language and mind. His book Brentano's Mind is forthcoming with OUP.
