Reviews

Williams extends extant work in insightful and important ways, combining it into a powerful and cohesive account. The Metaphysics of Representation is essential reading for anyone whose research engages with metasemantics, and is recommended for anyone interested more generally in linguistic, conceptual or other forms of representation. * Mark Pinder, The Philosophical Quarterly *
