Reference and Reflexivity: 2nd Edition (Lecture Notes)

In this volume John Perry develops his reflexive-referential account of indexicals, demonstratives, and proper names. For this new second edition, Perry has added a new preface and two chapters on the distinction between semantics and pragmatics and on attitude reports. He reveals a coherent and structured family of contentsfrom reflexive contents that place conditions on their actual utterance to fully incremental contents that place conditions only on the objects of referencereconciling the legitimate insights of both the referentialist and descriptivist traditions.
