{"product_id":"9780415339704","title":"Ineffability and Philosophy","description":"Presenting a fascinating analysis of the idea of what can't be said, this book ascertains whether the notion of there being a truth, or a state of affairs, or knowledge that can't be expressed linguistically is a coherent notion. The author distinguishes different senses in which it might be said that something can't be said.\u003cbr\u003eThe first part looks at the question of whether ineffability is a coherent idea. Part two evaluates two families of arguments regarding whether ineffable states of affairs actually exist: the argument from mysticism and the argument from epistemic boundedness. Part three looks more closely at the relation between mystic and non-mystic stances. In the fourth and final part the author distinguishes five qualitatively different types of ineffability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIneffability and Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e is a significant contribution to this area of research and will be essential reading for philosophers and those researching and studying the philosophy of language.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46256311369969,"sku":"9780415339704","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780415339704_p0.jpg?v=1764996452","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780415339704","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
