E. Buckner argues that all reference is story-relative. We cannot tell which historical individual a person is talking or writing about or addressing in prayer without familiarity with the narrative (oral or written) which introduces that individual to us, so we cannot understand reference to God, nor to his prophets, nor to any other character mentioned in the Jewish, Christian, or Muslim scriptures, without reference to those very scriptures. In this context we must understand God as the person who “walked in the garden in the cool of the day” (Gen. 3:8), and who is continuously referred to in the books of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, as well as the Quran. Further developing ideas presented by the late Fred Sommers in his seminal The Logic of Natural Language, Buckner argues that singular reference and singular conception is empty outside such a context.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 331gGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Philosophy of Language: Connections and PerspectivesAuthor: Dean Edward BucknerTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2022
