Language, Names, and Information is an important contribution to
philosophy of language by one of its foremost scholars, challenging
the pervasive view that the description theory of proper names is dead
in the water, and defending a version of the description theory from a
perspective on language that sees words as a wonderful source of
information about the nature of the world we live in. Challenges
current pervasive view that the description theory of reference for
proper names has been refuted Discusses several topics at the center
of current debates, including representation and information,
two-dimensionalism, possible worlds, and broad vs. narrow content
Maintains the conversational and somewhat informal tone of the
original lectures upon which the book is based
