More about the book
This book explores how ordinary language refers to abstract concepts like hitches, arrangements, and solutions, which philosophers often find mysterious. It examines ontological commitment in natural language, focusing on entities related to time and possibilities. The author argues that understanding a sentence's meaning involves knowing the conditions for its truth.
