Meaning and Structure. Structuralism of (post)analytic philosophers.
Original language description
The basic thesis of the book is that recent and contemporary (post)analytic philosophy, as developed by Quine, Davidson, Sellars and their followers, is largely structuralistic in the very sense in which structuralism was originally tabled by Ferdinand de Saussure. The book presents a reconstruction of de Saussure's view of language, linking it to modern formal logic and mathematics, and reveals close analogies between its constitutive principles and the principles informing the holistic and neopragmatistic view of language put forward by Quine and his followers. It also indicates how this view of langugage can be made compatible with what is usually called 'formal semantics'. Drawing on both the Saussurean tradition and recent developments in analyticphilosophy of language, the book offers a study of the ways in which the concept of meaning can be seen as onsisting in the concept of structure.
