Meeting - Reference and Signification (Tue, Oct. 21)

posted Oct 19, 2008 11:53 AM by Montana State Philosophy Society ‎(Phi Sigma Tau)‎   [ updated Oct 19, 2008 11:57 AM ]
On Tuesday, Oct. 21, at 2:10 PM in Wilson Hall 1-124, Kevin will overview some of the theories of reference and signification. Specifically:
  • Russell's theory of reference
  • Wittgenstein's rejection of that theory
  • Kripke's theory of naming
  • Saussure's theory of structure and signification, especially the arbitrariness of signification.
The purpose will be to provide a general overview, and also question some of the distinctions and explanations provided by these essential authors. All attempts will be made at intelligibility!
