Roger Vergauwen is Lecturer in Philosophy, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium and Research Associate at the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research.
The book presents a well worked out theory of reference starting from a model theoretic theory of meaning. It is particularly to be recommended for its lucid exposition of H. Putnam's attempts to come to terms with the realism issue and it will be of as much interest to specialists as to students working in the field because much care is taken to make the book as relatively self-contained as possible.
