Keim Campbell Joseph, O’Rourke Michael, Shier David (Editors). Meaning and Truth: Investigations in Philosophical Semantics

Seven Bridges Press, 2002. — vi, 309 pages. — ISBN: 1-889119-55-5.The papers in this volume are article versions of selected talks given at the third annual Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference, on Truth and Meaning, held in Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Washington, March 24‒26, 2000. This was the first year the conference was funded to bring in participants from all over the United States, and if, as I expect, future colloquia in the series meet the same high standards, the annual INPC will occupy an important place in American philosophical life. As a high-quality annual colloquium, it will quickly gain the prestige and attention now held by only two other such philosophy colloquia in the United States, the one at Chapel Hill and the one at Oberlin.Investigations in Philosophical Semantics: A Framework
