Language, Truth and Ontology (Philosophical Studies Series, 51) by K. Mulligan (PDF)

Description

All except three of the papers in this volume were presented at the colloquium on “L’Ontologie formelle aujourd’hui”, Geneva, 3-5 June 1988. The three exceptions, the papers by David Armstrong, Uwe Meixner and Wolfgang Lenzen, were presented at the colloquium on “Properties”, Zinal, June 1-3, 1990. It was, incidentally, at the second of these two colloquia that the European Society for Analytic Philosophy came into being. The fathers of analytic philosophy – Moore and Russell – were in no doubt that ontology or metaphysics as well as the topics oflanguage, truth and logic constituted the core subject-matter of their “analytic realism”, 1 for the task of metaphysics as they conceived things was the description of 2 the world. And logic and ontology are indissolubly linked in the system of the grandfather of analytic philosophy, Frege. After the Golden Age of analytic philosophy – in Cambridge and Austria – opposition to realism as well as the “linguistic turn” contributed for a long time to the eclipse of ontology. 3 Thanks in large measure to the work of some of the senior contributors to the present volume – Roderick Chisholm, Herbert Hochberg, David Armstrong and Karel Lambert – ontology and metaphysics now enjoy once again the central position they occupied some eighty years ago in the heyday of analytic philosophy.
