    Summary note
    The notion of a propositional content plays a central role in contemporary philosophy of language. While the Fregean conception of propositions as mind-independent objects has dominated analytic philosophy, a number of philosophers have approached the notion of a propositional content instead by focusing on cognitive acts. The volume presents a selection of control historical work and a range of new work within that perspective. Book jacket.
