Description

Singular Reference: A Descriptivist Perspective examines one of philosophy's most debated topics through a detailed analysis of how philosophers have approached the nature of singular reference over time. This Springer publication (volume 113 in the Philosophical Studies Series) traces the historical shift from descriptivist approaches to contemporary referentialist perspectives, offering comprehensive coverage of the theoretical foundations and modern developments in this field. The book provides original insights into the ongoing debate between Descriptivism and Direct Reference Theory, making it an essential resource for scholars, students, and philosophers interested in language, meaning, and how singular terms refer to objects in the world. Aldo Frigerio's review in Axiomathes (Vol. 27, 2017) praises the volume for its detailed problem analysis and recommended it as one of the most valuable texts in this philosophical discourse.
