Understanding Meaning and World
Chakraborty explores the internalism/externalism debate inherent in ontology and semantics from the viewpoint of phenomenology. His approach is distinctive in the sense that it formulates a reconciliation between both sides by inventing an internalistic-externalism view.
Is There an End of Ideologies?
Is ideology just a political pejorative? Can we be free from it? To clarify misunderstandings about the key concepts of ideology and discourse, this book traces their origins, their appropriation by Marxist theorists, and examines the relationship between them.
This collection explores the relationship between Ludwig Wittgenstein’s “analytic stance” towards philosophy and the inherently apophatic nature of his epistemology. This is the first publication to thoroughly explore this subject through this particular hermeneutical lens.
The philosophical debate on truth has exploded in recent years. Sparked by the struggle over deflationism, the discussion has broadened and deepened. The essays in this book highlight how much is left to explore and how real progress can be achieved.
Pragmatic Perspectives on Language and Linguistics Volume II
This volume focuses on pragmatics-oriented analyses of semantically-restricted domains. It addresses phenomena from a variety of perspectives, exploring politics, ideology, humour, power, media, and specialized communication in business, law, and science.
Communication as a Life Process
This volume presents the ecolinguistic paradigm, a dynamic, multilayer approach to human communication. Founded on a holistic paradigm, these contributions complement the mainstream focus on cognitive systems by pointing to non-cognitive modalities in the communication process.
A Walk in the Landscape of Language
Young addresses Heidegger’s dense prose seeking an understanding of ‘language’ which leads to a journey that allows the emergence of the terrain revealed when travelling with the philosopher. He offers an experience of walking with Heidegger when considering ‘language’.
Linguistics and the Parts of the Mind

Mind, Body, and Consciousness in Society
Mocombe explores the nature of learning and development in the philosophy of phenomenological structuralism, which represents an effort to resolve the structure/agency problematic of the social sciences within structurationist sociological theory.
