( Originally published in 1958. A study in the logical fo...)
Originally published in 1958. A study in the logical foundations of modern theoretical semantics, this book is concerned with notions of designation and consistency as well as denotation and truth. It presents several semantical theories, each of which with what were new concepts or treatments from the author. Talking at a time when semantical theory was gained great ground, this book also looks at the methodology of the sciences and the semantics of scientific language alongside analysis of meaning and expression. It is influenced by the writings of Carnap, Church, Frege, Goodman, Quine, Russell and Tarski.

(Reale’s monumental work establishes the exact dimensions ...)
Reale’s monumental work establishes the exact dimensions of Aristotle’s concept of first philosophy and proves the profound unity of concept that exists in Aristotle’s Metaphysics. Reale’s opposition to the genetic interpretation of the Metaphysics is an updated return to a more traditional view of Aristotle’s work, one which runs counter to nearly all contemporary scholarship. Reale argues that Aristotle’s first philosophy includes a study of being, a study of substance, a study of divine substance, and a study of principles and causes, all of which are integrated and dialectically reconciled. “The translation of this careful and persuasive study is a welcome and much-needed addition.” — CHOICE “Readers of Philosophy and Rhetoric will find this study a contribution, particularly because Reale’s analysis of Aristotelian epistemology is central to both disciplines …Reale, who has already been recognized by Italians, will now illuminate English readers with his scholarship, thanks to this translation.” — Philosophy and Rhetoric

(Excerpt from Truth and Denotation: A Study in Semantical ...)
Excerpt from Truth and Denotation: A Study in Semantical Theory Every reflective student of language is interested in how predicates and names are related to each other and to the objects for which they stand. The study of such semantical topics has played an important role in philosophy and grammar from the Greek period to the present day. Until recently philosophical discussion of them has been intimately bound up with more general metaphysical or epistemological considerations, and semantical theory has been a branch of a broader philosophy of language. But today interest seems to focus on such theory independent of its place in any metaphysical or epistemological scheme. Semantics is now concerned with problems of a narrower kind than heretofore, but these have come to occupy a central place in contemporary philosophical discussion. Within recent years semantical theory has been tremendously revitalized by discoveries in modern symbolic logic, discoveries so fundamental that semantics has become virtually a branch of logic. Most of the important contributions to modern logic including semantics have been of a highly technical kind, and many of them have been made by professional mathematicians. Theoretical semantics might thus with justice be called mathematical semantics. But to call it such would suggest that the subject is of narrow interest and relevant only to studies in the foundations of mathematics. On the contrary, the kinds of issues with which it deals are of wide interest and are important for studies in the foundations of theoretical, systematic disciplines of all kinds. In particular, the methodology of the sciences is now pre-eminently concerned with the semantics of scientific language. Also the basic concepts of semantics are of interest for philosophy in its various branches. This book is a study in the logical foundations of modern theoretical semantics and is concerned with such notions as truth, denotation, designation, consistency, and the like. Several alternative semantical theories are to be formulated, and most of them contain some novelty, however slight, of conception or of treatment. Some of the theories formulated are perhaps new, some of them are old, and some of them are old theories formulated in a somewhat new way. No specific knowledge is presupposed on the part of the reader other than some familiarity with the most elementary logic of truth-functions and quantifiers.
