Focusing on the nature of language, Paul Horwich presents a deflationary view that explores how sounds, symbols, and gestures convey meaning and represent reality. He aims to clarify the relationship between words and their meanings, arguing that meaning is derived from usage rather than intrinsic qualities. This approach builds on Wittgenstein's philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on how language functions in capturing the world and establishing truth or falsehood.
