"In The Nature and Structure of Content, Jeffrey C. King formulates a detailed account of the metaphysical nature of propositions. In addition to explaining what it is that binds together the constituents of structured propositions and imposes structure on them, King deals with some of the standard objections to accounts of propositions: he shows that there is no mystery about what propositions are; that given certain minimal assumptions, it follows that they exist; and that on his approach, we can see how and why propositions manage to have truth conditions and represent the world as being a certain way. The Nature and Structure of Content also contains a detailed account of the nature of tense and modality and provides a solution to the paradox of analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
