Provenance

Where it came from

Semantic externalism was published in 2011 by Routledge as part of their Studies in Contemporary Philosophy series. The book serves as a comprehensive introduction and critical evaluation of the thesis that the meanings of our words and the contents of our mental states are determined, at least in part, by factors external to the individual, such as the social or physical environment.

Jesper Kallestrup designed this work to synthesize decades of discourse following the foundational arguments of philosophers like Hilary Putnam and Tyler Burge. The text was crafted for students and scholars seeking to navigate complex debates regarding internalism, mental content, and linguistic reference. Upon its release, it was well received within academic circles for its structured clarity and its ability to bridge the gap between classic thought experiments and contemporary theoretical advancements in philosophy of language.
