This statement  encapsulates the problem of linguistic creativity, which lies at the  core of philosophy of language and theoretical linguistics. It has  also sparked off a considerable amount of work on the philosophy of  mind. \u003cbr\u003e  After establishing the failure of the familiar compositional approach  to the problem, the book adopts a radically new start. It develops  core elements of the later Wittgenstein's conception of philosophy,  putting them to work to`dissolve' the problem, proving it ill-framed  by clarifying the questions posing it and breaking the spell of  mistaken analogies that inform it. \u003cbr\u003e  This sharply focused monograph thus has a dual aim: coping with a  crucial problem that turns out to be a lot tougher than is generally  supposed, and presenting a precise and rigorous demonstration of an  unfamiliar and exciting philosophical approach. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Clearly written and lucidly structured, the book  addresses professional philosophers and advanced undergraduates alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792361244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4243-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 193\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481647411340,"sku":"9780792361244","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792361244.jpg?v=1771514043","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792361244","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
