EBOOK Themes from Kaplan

This anthology of essays on the work of David Kaplan, a leading contemporary        philosopher of language, sprang from a conference, "e;Themes from Kaplan,"e; organized        by the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University. The        book contains sixteen papers by such distinguished contributors as Robert M. Adams,        Roderick Chisholm, Nathan Salmon, and Scott Soames, and includes Kaplan's hitherto        uncollected paper, "e;Demonstratives,"e; which has for twenty years been one of the most        influential pieces in the philosophy of language. These essays examine a broad range        of themes related to Kaplan's work; some address his work directly, while others are        independent discussions of issues provoked by Kaplan's thought.
