From Utterances to Speech Acts

By Mikhail Kissine

"Kissine offers a new theory of speech acts which is philosophically sophisticated and builds on work in cognitive science, formal semantics, and linguistic typology. This highly readable, brilliant essay is a major contribution to the field."

--François Recanati, Institut Jean-Nicod

Title: Games: Unifying Logic, Language, and Philosophy

Series Title: Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science
Description:

The first book to collect multidisciplinary research on game-theoretic methods in logic, language and philosophy. Brings forward philosophical aspects of games in relation to logic and language, unlike previous literature. Aims at a unifying methodological perspective to logics. Seeks a balanced perspective on philosophical, semantic, epistemological, dialogical, computational and mathematical approaches to game-theoretical methods in logic.

This volume presents mathematical game theory as an interface between logic and philosophy. It provides a discussion of various aspects of this interaction, covering new technical results and examining the philosophical insights that these have yielded.

Organized in four sections it offers a balanced mix of papers dedicated to the major trends in the field: the dialogical approach to logic, Hintikka-style game-theoretic semantics, game-theoretic models of various domains (including computation and natural language) and logical analyses of game-theoretic situations.

This volume will be of interest to any philosopher concerned with logic and language. It is also relevant to the work of argumentation theorists, linguists, economists, computer scientists and all those concerned with the foundational aspects of these disciplines.
