Description

Explore a fundamental challenge in modern philosophy of language with Sortals and the Subject-predicate Distinction. Originally published in 2001 as part of the Routledge Revivals series, this work addresses a central problem in philosophical logic. Michael Durrant examines the widely held belief that the subject-predicate distinction is a basic or fundamental element of logic. Durrant provides a rigorous argument that this distinction should not be viewed as fundamental. He suggests that the prevailing view persists because of a failure to recognize the specific role and category of the sortal. By analyzing how sortals function as symbols that provide principles for distinguishing and counting particulars, this book offers a new perspective on how we understand objects and logical structures. This title is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the foundations of logic and the philosophy of language. It provides a deep dive into how sortals influence our ability to identify and categorize the world around us.
