Search in google:
Presenting a selection of thirteen essays on various topics at the foundations of philosophy—one previously unpublished and eight accompanied by substantial new postscripts—this book offers outstanding insight on truth, meaning, and propositional attitudes; semantic indeterminacy and other kinds of "factual defectiveness;" and issues concerning objectivity, especially in mathematics and in epistemology. It will reward the attention of any philosopher interested in language, epistemology, or mathematics.
