Reviews
In each part of this thought-provoking volume on the nature of language, there are essays that demonstrate the immense intellectual potential of writing that refuses to see any decisive distinction between the present of philosophy and its history, or between the ways in which Kant's work has been inherited in Anglo-American and Franco-German traditions. - Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford University, author of Wittgenstein's Private Language With its robust range of complementary topics, each subjected to penetrating examination, this collection of essays makes a welcome contribution to the philosophy of language, past and present. - Daniel Dahlstrom, Boston University, author of Heidegger's Concept of Truth The contributions to this impressive volume ignore traditional divides between analytic and continental, historical and systematic philosophy. This enables the authors to put a number of key issues in the philosophy of language into a striking new light.... Fully accessible to the advanced undergraduate in philosophy, the book also contains many provocative ideas for the specialist. - Martin Kusch, University of Cambridge, author of Language as Calculus vs. Language as Universal Medium

Author Information
Jon Burmeister is a PhD candidate in philosophy at Boston College. His dissertation addresses Hegel's view of philosophical language and its relation to life and self-movement. Some of his philosophical interests include ancient Greek philosophy, German Idealism, Nietzsche, and phenomenology, particularly regarding the topics of language, movement, and art. Mark Sentesy entered the doctoral program at Boston College after studying in the MA program at K. U. Leuven. His dissertation evaluates Aristotle's account of energy as finitude, concentrating on the role of activity in a thing's being, generation, and movement. He is currently working in contemporary and ancient philosophy, especially on the nature of drives, politics, and language.Contributors: Jaakko Hintikka, Jo-Jo Koo, Geoffrey Bennington, Sarah Hansen, JohnChristopher Adorno Keller, Vernon Cisney, Alina Beary, Jeffrey Golub, Eileen Sweeney
