Introduction

View through CrossRef
In this introductory chapter the authors present the main themes of the volume, namely reference and representation in language and thought, alluding to their inception in Gottlob Frege’s seminal work on sense and reference and presenting the standard view in philosophy of language and mind about the main devices of reference and representation. Thus the authors not only present, briefly, the contents of all of the chapters—from discussions on our main referential devices, such as proper names, indexicals, demonstratives, and so on, and on probably the main target of representation, the self—but also situate the variety of perspectives and the approaches adopted in the long tradition inaugurated by Frege.
