Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In Beyond Rigidity, Soames introduces a new conception of the relationship between linguistic meaning and assertion made by utterances. He looks at the meanings of proper names and natural-kind predicates, explains their use in attitude ascriptions, and demonstrates the limitation of rigid designation. Beyond Rigidity distils, modifies and develops some of the most important ideas in the philosophy of language in the last thirty years. This book is a major contribution to the field, with an impact that will be far reaching and deeply influential.
MoreLong description:
In this fascinating work, Scott Soames offers a new conception of the relationship between linguistic meaning and assertions made by utterances. He gives meanings of proper names and natural kind predicates and explains their use in attitude ascriptions. He also demonstrates the irrelevance of rigid designation in understanding why theoretical identities containing such predicates are necessary, if true.
This book makes a serious and original contribution to revising and progressing Kripke's semantic programme.
