Description:
Walter Ott proposes a new interpretation of John Locke’s thesis–that words signify ideas in the mind of the speaker. Ott argues that Locke relies on an ancient tradition that defines signification as reliable indication. He then uses this interpretation to analyze crucial areas of Locke’s metaphysics and epistemology.
