  The result of 25 years of teaching philosophy to students of varied cultural and linguistic background, Talking Philosophy presents a critical look at the basic terminology of 20th century Anglophone philosophy. It also examines the more important aspects of the terminology which philosophy shares with common discourse, and the language of argument generally. Arranged thematically, the book begins with short definitions and discussions of expressions like discourse , sentence , propositions , and leads on through topics such as identity, meaning , nonsense, and a variety of -isms and -ologies, to logical relations.
