From Naming to Saying explores the classicquestion of the unity of the proposition, combining an historical approach with contemporary causal theories to offer a unique and novel solution.
* Presents compelling and sophisticated answers to questions about how language represents the world.
* Defends a novel approach to the classical question about the unity of the proposition.
* Examines three key historical theories: Frege's doctrine of concept and object, Russell's analysis of the sentence, and Wittgenstein's picture theory of meaning.
* Combines an historical approach with discussion and defense of a contemporary causal theory of the unity of the proposition.
* Establishes a view compatible with, though not dependent on, a causal theory of meaning.
