Overview
Strawson has not altered the texts of the 12 reprinted papers in the 1971 first edition, but has written a new introduction explaining how some of the later articles correct shortcomings in some of the earlier ones, and emphasizing certain thematic unities that run through them all. Among his topics are the particular and the general, singular terms and predication, identifying reference and truth-values, the asymmetry of subjects and predicates, grammar and philosophy, intention and convention in speech acts, meaning and truth, a problem about truth, and a reconsideration of Austin's views on truth.
