The Senses of the Text: Intensional Semantics and Literary Theory,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In recent years the notion of determinate meaningthe idea that a word or a line in a literary text means one thing rather than another thing, X rather than Yhas been widely rejected in the name of Derrida and diffrance, readerresponse criticism, and "ideological" approaches proclaiming meaning to be no more than a site of political contestation. Yet determinate meaning, says William C. Dowling, cannot be rejected in this way. Like the ratio named by p or the primeness of prime numbers in mathematics, it has been there all along, waiting for our theories to catch up. The proof that this is so, he argues, is today most compellingly available in the New Intensionalism of Jerrold J. Katz, which provides a powerful demonstration that the method of "close reading" developed by New Criticism remains the only valid basis for higherorder interpretation. For readers with no technical background in linguistics or logic, The Senses of the Text provides a clear and easilyunderstood introduction to the "Chomskyan revolution" in linguistic theory and to major issues in the philosophy of language, including the work of Frege, Wittgenstein, Quine, Carnap, Kripke, and Davidson.
