توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
این کتاب اولین مجموعه مقالات ویرایش شده درباره آثار یکی از برجسته ترین و عمیق ترین فیلسوفان معاصر است. در طی پنج دهه گذشته، کیت فاین در چندین حوزه از فلسفه سیستماتیک، از جمله فلسفه زبان، متافیزیک، و فلسفه ریاضیات، و همچنین به تعدادی از موضوعات در منطق فلسفی، مشارکت های فکری و نوآورانه ای داشته است. این مشارکتها به شکلگیری مجدد برنامههای آن حوزهها کمک کرده و به تعدادی از بحثهای همیشگی انگیزه تازهای بخشیده است. کار فاین با پیچیدگی فنی، وسعت فلسفی و استقلال از ارتدکس فعلی متمایز است. آمیزه ای از عقل سلیم سالم همراه با مهارت در استدلال و تفکر سازنده بخشی از کمک های ماندگار کیت فاین به روندهای فعلی در فلسفه تحلیلی است.
محققان و دانشجویان فلسفه، منطق، زبانشناسی و علوم شناختی از این کمکهای انتقادی به نظریههای جدید فاین در مورد معنا و بازنمایی، اشیاء دلبخواه، جوهر، واقعگرایی هستیشناختی و متافیزیک مدالیت به طور یکسان بهرهمند خواهند شد و به نتایج بهتری دست خواهند یافت. درک مسائلی که در فلسفه تحلیلی معاصر با آن سروکار دارند.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
This book is the first edited collection of papers on the work of one of the most seminal and profound contemporary philosophers. Over the last five decades, Kit Fine has made thought-provoking and innovative contributions to several areas of systematic philosophy, including philosophy of language, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mathematics, as well as to a number of topics in philosophical logic. These contributions have helped reshape the agendas of those fields and have given fresh impetus to a number of perennial debates. Fine's work is distinguished by its technical sophistication, philosophical breadth, and independence from current orthodoxy. A blend of sound common-sense combined with a virtuosity in argumentation and constructive thinking is part and parcel of Kit Fine's lasting contributions to current trends in analytic philosophy.
Researchers and students in philosophy, logic, linguistics, and cognitive science will benefit alike from these critical contributions to Fine's novel theories on meaning and representation, arbitrary objects, essence, ontological realism, and the metaphysics of modality, and will come away with a better understanding of the issues within contemporary analytic philosophy with which they deal.
