In Realistic Rationalism, Jerrold J. Katz develops a new philosophical position integrating realism and rationalism. Realism here means that the objects of study in mathematics and other formal sciences are abstract; rationalism means that our knowledge of them is not empirical. Katz uses this position to meet the principal challenges to realism. In exposing the flaws in criticisms of the antirealists, he shows that realists can explain knowledge of abstract objects without supposing we have causal contact with them, that numbers are determinate objects, and that the standard counterexamples to the abstract/concrete distinction have no force. Generalizing the account of knowledge used to meet the challenges to realism, he develops a rationalist and nonnaturalist account of philosophical knowledge and argues that it is preferable to contemporary naturalist and empiricist accounts. The book illuminates a wide range of philosophical issues, including the nature of necessity, the distinction between the formal and natural sciences, empiricist holism, the structure of ontology, and philosophical skepticism. Philosophers will use this fresh treatment of realism and rationalism as a starting point for new directions in their own research.

"In Sense, Reference, and Philosophy, Jerrold J. Katz develops the philosophical implications of an autonomous theory of sense. On Katz's intensionalism, sense is divorced from reference; sense mediates, but does not determine, reference. Katz argues that his theory of "thin" senses accomplishes all and only what a theory of meaning should be responsible for: representations of the sense structure of the smallest meaning-bearing elements of a language (its morphemes); a dictionary; a set of compositional principles to form the meanings of sentences; and definitions of sense properties and relations such as synonymy. The theory of reference, Katz argues, will be related to the theory of sense via a system of referential correlates." "In Sense, Reference, and Philosophy, Katz provides a modern interpretation of the insights of philosophers like Descartes, Kant, Locke, Mill, and G.E. Moore and thereby resets the agenda for current analytic philosophy. The scope and rigor of this book will make it of interest to a broad range of philosophers."--Jacket.
