Expressivism, Pragmatism And Representationalism by Huw Price
A sustained examination of the tensions and possible convergences among expressivist accounts of meaning, pragmatist understandings of truth and inquiry, and representationalist views of language and mind; the book explores whether and how non-representationalist or expressive theories can accommodate truth, normativity, and semantic content, and whether pragmatist resources can help resolve longstanding objections to anti-representationalism. Essays evaluate strategies for reconciling expressivism with truth-conditional and inferential roles, reassess the status of normative and epistemic claims in light of pragmatic considerations, and probe the ways representation and practice interrelate. Overall it argues for nuanced theoretical hybrids and clarifications that illuminate central issues in metaethics, philosophy of language, and epistemology, showing how pragmatic insights can reshape debates about representation and meaning.
