The Concept of Meaning

First published in 2002. This is Volume VIII of seventeen in the Library of Philosophy series on Metaphysics. Written in 1974, the most significant studies of meaning are rightly focused upon restricted ranges of meanings, but occasional attempts to see the subject in larger perspective are also required. The present inquiry is concerned with meanings of words in languages and of spoken and written sentences, but it is also concerned with a wider spectrum including meanings of spoken and written sentences, of signs and symbols, of physical and historical events, of material objects and mental images, of poems and paintings, of sculptures and symphonies, and even of life and of the universe.
