  Book Description
 
Publication Date: April 21, 2014
  Aboutness has been studied from any number of
angles. Brentano made it the defining feature of the mental. Phenomenologists try to pin down the aboutness-features of
particular mental states. Materialists sometimes claim to have grounded aboutness in natural regularities. Attempts have
even been made, in library science and information theory, to operationalize the notion.
  
  But it has
played no real role in philosophical semantics. This is surprising; sentences have aboutness-properties if anything
does. Aboutness is the first book to examine through a philosophical lens the role of subject matter in meaning.
 

  A long-standing tradition sees meaning as truth-conditions, to be specified by listing the scenarios in which a
sentence is true. Nothing is said about the principle of selection--about what in a scenario gets it onto the list.
Subject matter is the missing link here. A sentence is true because of how matters stand where its subject matter is
concerned.
  
  Stephen Yablo maintains that this is not just a feature of
subject matter, but its essence. One indicates what a sentence is about by mapping out logical space according to its
changing ways of being true or false. The notion of content that results--directed content--is brought to bear on a
range of philosophical topics, including ontology, verisimilitude, knowledge, loose talk, assertive content, and
philosophical methodology.
  
  Written by one of today's leading philosophers, Aboutness represents a major advance in semantics and the philosophy of language.
  
  Reviews
  "This is an excellent book. Aboutness is
highly original and represents a major contribution to metaphysics and the philosophy of language."--Thomas Hofweber, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
  
  "Aboutness
is a major achievement. Yablo is one of the most distinctive philosophical writers of our time. Every sentence of this
landmark book is a joy, and the discussion is elegant throughout. In this part of philosophy, it doesn't get better than
this."--Gideon Rosen, Princeton University
