Michael Dummett stands out among his generation as the only British
philosopher of language to rival in stature the Americans, Davidson
and Quine. In conjunction with them he has been responsible for
much of the framework within which questions concerning meaning and
understanding are raised and answered in the late twentieth-century
Anglo-American tradition. Dummett's output has been prolific and
highly influential, but not always as accessible as it deserves to
be. This book sets out to rectify this situation.
Karen Green offers the first comprehensive introduction to
Dummett's philosophy of language, providing an overview and summary
of his most important arguments. She argues that Dummett should not
be understood as a determined advocate of anti-realism, but that
his greatest contribution to the philosophy of language is to have
set out the strengths and weaknesses of the three most influential
positions within contemporary theory of meaning - realism, as
epitomised by Frege, the holism to be found in Wittgenstein, Quine
and Davidson and the constructivism which can be extracted from
Brouwer. It demonstrates that analytic philosophy as Dummett
practices it, is by no means an outmoded approach to thinking about
language, but that it is relevant both to cognitive science and to
phenomenology.
