Forthright, lively and ambitious ... a stimulating introduction to the topic of meaning that makes a persuasive case for taking this topic to be of central importance to philosophy, insofar as the phenomenon is central to life. - Ratio Cooper deftly provides a natural and friendly entry into a formidable topic and shows how a general sense of settling meaning 'in life' affects important quarrels about linguistic meaning. This well written, sprightly, and engaging book will make an excellent text in the theory of language. His treatment of the issues is as trim and as telling as any I have seen and his arguments will also be of considerable interest both to the general reder and advanced readers. - Joseph Margolis, Temple University
