Media Reviews
This is a man we can trust to lead us across the precipice of knowing with charm, sound judgment and a knowledge of where to stop before our intoxicated intellect deceives us once again.-San Francisco Chronicle Eco's ability to balance technical subject matter with broadly intelligible anecdotes and illustrations should make it valuable and pleasurable for anyone seeking a gallant introduction to the philosophy of language. -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
