{"product_id":"9780521071291","title":"Assertion and Conditionals (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book develops in detail the simple idea that assertion is the expression of belief. In it the author puts forward a version of 'probabilistic semantics' which acknowledges that we are not perfectly rational, and which offers a significant advance in generality on theories of meaning couched in terms of truth conditions. It promises to challenge a number of entrenched and widespread views about the relations of language and mind. Part I presents a functionalist account of belief, worked through a modified form of decision theory. In Part II the author generates a theory of meaning in terms of 'assertibility conditions', whereby to know the meaning of an assertion is to know the belief it expresses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48682460152043,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":86.06,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521071291-1.jpg?v=1781625535","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521071291","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
