(1995) Doing worlds with words, Dordrecht, Springer.
Throughout this whole book we have approached logic as the matter of criterial reconstruction of necessary truth; and we proposed to take meaning to be something that gets explicated precisely in course of such reconstruction. Moreover, in the previous chapter we considered the Wittgensteinian and Quinean challenge to the very concept of necessary truth; and we concluded that it is not legitimate to see necessary truth as reflecting, and hence logic and semantics as explicating, some ultimate "form of the world". Let us now investigate the general picture of the relationship between language and the world, between words and things, to which holding this position leads us.
