Schroeder on Expressivism: For – or Against?

摘要

In this impressive and rewarding book, Mark Schroeder (2008) gives annin-depth analysis and evaluation of the semantic program that has come to be known as ‘expressivism’. After first explaining what the expressivistnapproach amounts to, he presents a series of problems for expressivists,nand then canvases the available resources for an expressivist solution tonthese problems. The ultimate goal is to devise the most promising possiblenform that an expressivist theory can take, and to assess the theory’s success atndealing with these problems.
