ABSTRACT

In the previous three chapters we have considered various versions of scepticism about meaning, and we have suggested a number of lines of response to such scepticism. Our discussion of attempts to save sense in the light of semantic scepticism has been far from exhaustive. Rather than discuss further responses to scepticism about sense, we return, in the final three chapters, to questions about the nature of sense and the relationship of issues in the theory of meaning to metaphysical issues in philosophy in general.
