Gilbert Harman presents a selection of fifteen interconnected essays
on fundamental issues at the centre of analytic philosophy. The book
opens with a group of four essays discussing basic principles of
reasoning and rationality. The next three essays argue against the
idea that certain claims are true by virtue of meaning and knowable by
virtue of meaning. In the third group of essays Harman sets out his
own view of meaning, arguing that it depends upon the functioning of
concepts in reasoning, perception, and action, by which these concepts
are related to the world. He also examines the relation between
language and thought. The final three essays investigate the nature of
mind, developing further the themes already set out. Reasoning,
Meaning, and Mind offers an integrated presentation of this rich and
influential body of work.
