How do language and thought connect to things in the world? John Hawthorne and David Manley offer an original and ambitious treatment of the semantic phenomenon of reference and the cognitive phenomenon of singular thought, leading to a new unified account of definite and indefinite descriptions, names, and demonstratives.
Relativism and Monadic Truth
Relativism has dominated many intellectual circles, past and present, but the twentieth century saw it banished to the fringes of mainstream analytic philosophy. Of late, however, it is making something of a comeback within that loosely configured tradition, a comeback that attempts to capitalize on some important ideas in foundational semantics. Relativism and Monadic Truth aims not merely to combat analytic relativism but also to combat the foundational ideas in semantics that led to its revival. Doing so requires a proper understanding of the significance of possible worlds semantics, an examination of the relation between truth and the flow of time, an account of putatively relevant data...

Self-Convicted
This book contains the story based upon true events in the earlier years of my life. I was a man who believed that the ultimate goal of life, is the pursuit of, and devotion to pleasure. I believed all men associated the ideas of power and sex, and is in constant competition with each other concerning the acquisition of women. Yet when these beliefs created struggles within myself, and my marriage, I sought to explore the darker side of human nature.
