Between Logic and the World

Auteur: Nickel, Bernhard (Harvard University)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
In our everyday thought and talk, we put things into categories in order to generalize about them: 'Lions have manes', 'Ravens are black'. Bernhard Nickel presents a theory of generic sentences and the modes of thought they express, integrating compositional semantics with metaphysics to solve the problems of what they mean and how they work.
