  • Diasporas and ExilesVarieties of Jewish Identity

    Howard WettsteinBOOKDiasporas and exiles2002

    Diaspora, considered as a context for insights into Jewish identity, brings together a lively, interdisciplinary group of scholars in this innovative volume. Readers needn't expect, however, to find easy agreement on what those insights are. The concept "diaspora" itself has proved controversial; galut, the traditional Hebrew expression for the Jews' perennial condition, is better translated as "exile." The very distinction between diaspora and e…

    For some twenty years now philosophers have been carping about inadequacies of semantical approaches of Frege and Russell. It must be admitted that many counterexamples to views of Frege and Russell have been offered, some of considerable intuitive merit. It is nothing less than scandalous, though, that anti-Fregeans have never given due weight to sorts of considerations that were absolutely central for Frege and Russell, considerations about the…

  • Can What is Asserted be a Sentence

    IN discussing the question of what it is that has a truth value, philosophers have often gone to great lengths to avoid assuming that propositions exist, that is that there are abstract entities which are expressed by sentences (or by utterances of sentences) but which are not themselves part of any language. One might want to avoid such an assumption for any of a host of reasons: because propositions are abstract entities, or because their ident…
