Abstract:

"This book provides an analysis of the idea of what can't be said. As the author states, he cannot tell us directly what it is that can't be said, but he can tell us a lot about what can't be said. The book ascertains whether the notion of there being a truth, or a state of affairs, or knowledge that can't be expressed linguistically is a coherent notion and the author distinguishes different senses in which it might be said that something can't be said." "Ineffability and Philosophy is a significant contribution to this area of research and will be essential reading for philosophers and those researching and studying the philosophy of language."--BOOK JACKET.
