Identity, Language, and Mind: An Introduction to the Philosophy of John Perry (Center for the Study of Language and Information - Lecture Notes)

As one of the world's most eminent living philosophers, John Perry has covered a remarkable breadth of subjects in his published work, including semantics, indexicality, self-knowledge, personal identity, and consciousness. Looking particularly at the way in which he deals with issues of self, communication, and reality, this volume is organized in seven chapters that highlight different aspects of Perry's work on the intersection of these subjects. A fundamental work for students and scholars, "Identity, Language, and Mind" explores questions that are not only essential in understanding Perry's writings, but also contemporary philosophy as a whole.
