Böcker av Michael (Colorado State University) Losonsky

This book systematically traces the philosophical origins and development of the idea that the improvement of human understanding requires public activity, discussing the work of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Spinoza, and Leibniz.

This book traces the linguistic turns in the history of modern philosophy and the development of the philosophy of language. Michael Losonsky shows how the history of the philosophy of language in the modern period is marked by an as yet unintegrated dichotomy between formal and pragmatic perspectives on language.
