EDITINGEditor-in-Chief, The Princeton Series in the Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy -- a series of state-of-the-art books on the most important areas of research in contemporary analytic philosophy, written by leading experts in their fields. Each book is a high-level introduction to advanced thinking in an area. Although major questions and approaches are covered, the books are neither neutral surveys of the literature, nor highly specialized contributions filling gaps in already well-known research programs. Instead, each presents the author’s own unifying vision of a field or topic as it is exists today – its recent history and leading themes, its most exciting new developments, and its most important unanswered questions. The premise of the series is that with so much specialized work being done on so many different topics, there is a need to articulate synoptic views of active areas of research, with an eye to developing common understandings, and charting future progress. The

2

books are designed to appeal to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, to provide specialists with the new ideas and unifying perspectives of the leaders of their own fields, and to offer compact and comprehensible explanations of neighboring fields to other working professionals.

In addition creating the series, choosing the authors and topics, and reviewing the manuscripts, I wrote the book in the philosophy of language. Other books in the series include philosophical logic, modality, truth, vagueness, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of physics, philosophy of biology, decision theory, philosophy and economics, normative ethics, meta-ethics, political philosophy, moral psychology, free will and moral responsibility, philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology and cognitive science, philosophy of law, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion.
