  • Sense, Reference and Rule-Following

    Paul A Boghossian, Paul BoghossianARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1994Cited by: 1

    In a series of important and provocative books, Jerrold Katz has articulated and defended a 'Platonistic Intensionalism' in the theory of meaning. As Katz understands it, this is the view that expressions of a natural language have sense as well as reference, that senses are abstract entities of some sort and that they are the proper objects of study in a theory of meaning for natural language.
