Summary: "This volume advances discussions between critics and defenders of the force-content distinction and opens new ways of thinking about force and speech acts in relation to the unity problem. The force-content dichotomy has shaped the philosophy of language and mind since the time of Frege and Russell. Isn't it obvious that, for example, the clauses of a conditional are not asserted and must therefore be something forceless only asserted through a proposition? Recently some philosophers have begun questioning this line of argument. How can a proposition be a unified truth-value bearer rather than just a mere list of words? They argue that the forceful act of a subject takes a position about how things are. The essays in this book address a variety of positions related to this lively debate. Force, Content, and the Unity of the Proposition will be of interest to researchers working in philosophy of language, philosophical logic, philosophy of mind, and linguistics"-- Provided by publisher
