Reviews

Stephen Yablo's Aboutness is something of a sensation. It instantiates two firsts: it is the first book ever published on aboutness in logic and language, on the question, therefore, what it is for a sentence to be about something, and it is the first book Yablo publishes. --Naomi Osorio-Kupferblum, Analysis Reviews This is an important and far-reaching book that philosophers will be discussing for a long time. There are doctoral dissertations, articles, and books to write exploring the possibilities and limitations of [Yablo's] approach. --Adam Morton, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews This is an important and far-reaching book that philosophers will be discussing for a long time. There are doctoral dissertations, articles, and books to write exploring the possibilities and limitations of [Yablo's] approach. --Adam Morton, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
