| Abstract | The result of twenty-five years of teaching philosophy, this book presents an informative and critical look at the basic terminology of twentieth-century Anglophone philosophy. Written clearly and peppered with aphorism and humour, the book begins with short definitions and discussions of expressions, and covers topics such as identity, meaning, and nonsense, as well as a variety of -isms and -ologies. |
