José L. Zalabardo defends a pragmatist account of the meaning of central semantic discourses--ascriptions of truth, of propositional attitudes, and of meanings. On Zalabardo's account, what makes the sentences of these discourses have the meanings they have are the procedures that regulate their acceptance and rejection.

Jonathan Ichikawa synthesizes two prominent ideas in epistemology: contextualism about knowledge ascriptions, and the 'knowledge first' emphasis on the theoretical primacy of knowledge. He argues that in thinking clearly about knowledge, epistemologists must also think about the dynamic aspects of the words we use to talk about knowledge

Conditional structures lie at the heart of the sciences, humanities, and everyday reasoning. It is hence not surprising that conditional logics - logics specifically designed to account for natural language conditionals - are an active and interdisciplinary area. The present book gives a formal and a philosophical account of indicative and counterfactual conditionals in terms of Chellas-Segerberg semantics. For that purpose a range of topics are discussed such as Bennett's arguments against truth value based semantics for indicative conditionals
