Meaning without Analyticity
Essays on Logic, Language and Meaning
This book explores a non-behavioristic theory of meaning, rejecting the analytic-synthetic distinction. It answers challenges from the revival of pragmatism by bringing it into contact with analytic philosophy, where Frege and Quine meet Peirce, James, and Dewey.

On Being True or False
Sentences, Propositions and What is Said
What sort of thing is true or false? This book argues that the main answers—sentences, beliefs, propositions—are mistaken. The chief truth-bearer is what someone says or writes. Being true or false is rooted in human talk. This broad examination also criticizes linguistics.

Understanding Wittgenstein’s Authorship
Language, Thought, and Reality
What was Wittgenstein trying to do in his later work? This book argues that most scholarship fails to take his philosophical struggles seriously. His key, if inchoate, insight was that by means of language we seek not primarily to describe reality, but to transform it.
