Readership: Advanced students and scholars of philosophy
Gillian Russell, Washington University in St Louis
"Russell's book is impressive and richly argued... she has brought the debate on analyticity to a new level. In her book she presents us with an alternative, well-developed and highly original way of thinking about truth in virtue of meaning, one that cirumvents many of the difficulties that plague traditional analyticity. This makes the book a must-read by anybody interested in the topic of analyticity, and the nature of meaning generally." - Åsa Wikforss, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
