On meaning as species
This Commentary on Mark Richard’s Meaning as Species raises three sets of questions about Richard’s project: first about the relation between his conception of meaning and the determination of reference and propositional content; second, about its relation to Paul Grice’s notion of speaker meaning, and more generally to the Gricean program for a theory of conversation, and third about way meanings evolve while maintaining their identity
Reference Fixing and the Contingent A Priori
Kripke's arguments in Naming and Necessity that there are necessary truths that are knowable only a posteriori are convincing, but his examples that purport to be cases of contingent truths that can be known a priori are more problematic. These examples bring out something important about reference and meaning, but this paper argues that the knowledge of speakers who fix the reference of a name or word by stipulation is not appropriately classifi…
Context
"Robert Stalnaker explores the notion of the context in which speech takes place ... different notions of context, but the main focus is on the notion of context as common ground ... the information that is presupposed by speakers and addressees, and a central concern of this book is with the notion of presupposition ... Presupposed information includes background information both about the subject matter of a discourse and about the evolving dis…

Ways a World Might Be
Robert Stalnaker draws together in this volume the extent of his work in metaphysics. The central theme is the role of possible worlds in articulating our various metaphysical commitments. The essays presented reflect on the nature of metaphysics, with two of the essays featured being published for the first time.
Ways a world might be
The central theme is the role of possible worlds in articulating our various metaphysical commitments. The book begins with reflections on the general idea of a possible world, and then uses the framework of possible worlds to formulate and clarify some questions about properties and individuals, reference, thought, and experience. The essays also reflect on the nature of metaphysics, and on the relation between questions about what there is and …

The diversity of topics discussed in this book reflects the breadth of Judith Jarvis Thomson's philosophical work. Throughout her long career at MIT, Thomson's straightforward approach and emphasis on problem-solving have shaped philosophy in significant ways. Some of the book's contributions discuss specific moral and political issues such as abortion, self-defense, the rights and obligations of prospective fathers, and political campaign financ…
Context and Content
A collection about the intentionality of speech acts and propositional attitudes. The chapters in the first section develop a framework for pragmatics—the study of the interaction of speech acts and the contexts in which they are performed. The framework is used to defend and apply a pragmatic conception of presupposition, to account for the role of indicative conditional statements in reasoning, and to solve some puzzles about statements of iden…

Pragmatics
Probability and Conditionals
The aim of the paper is to draw a connection between a semantical theory of conditional statements and the theory of conditional probability. First, the probability calculus is interpreted as a semantics for truth functional logic. Absolute probabilities are treated as degrees of rational belief. Conditional probabilities are explicitly defined in terms of absolute probabilities in the familiar way. Second, the probability calculus is extended in…

Events, Periods, and Institutions in Historians' Language
Historians and meta-historians have sometimes been guilty of loose talk about the Weltgeist and of glib references to inflated forces and factors. One might infer from some quasi-historical writings that things like the Enlightenment, the German Character, the Bourgeoisie, the Spirit of Liberty, and Nationalism existed and acted independently of the actions of individual men. More toughminded historians and philosophers have objected to this kind…
