If there is such a thing as essential reading in metaphysics or in philosophy of language, this is it. Ever since the publication of its original version, Naming and Necessity has had great and increasing influence. It redirected philosophical attention to neglected questions of natural and metaphysical necessity and to the connections between these and theories of reference, in particular of naming, and of identity. From a critique of the dominant tendency to assimilate names to descriptions and more generally to treat their reference as a function of their Fregean sense, surprisingly de

Naming the Father is a collection of essays on the subject of fatherhood: its enduring power, its secret ruses, its unsettling provocations. Despite the considerable critical attention devoted to motherhood in literature-and despite the late-twentieth-century focus on patriarchy-there is surprisingly no comparable collection on fatherhood. This volume was born of the conclusion that critics of modern and contemporary literature may comprehend the father too little for presuming to have comprehended patriarchy so much. "Naming the Father" begins with a series of nonfiction essays that attempts

THE ART OF NAMING DISHES on BILLS OF FARE By L. SCHUMACHER Preface This little work is written for the progressive element in the hotel and restaurant profession because of the fact that the menus and bills of fare are, to a great extent, neither intelligible to the server nor the served. Therefore, a method of naming dishes will be offered in the following pages, which I hope will be satisfactory to all concerned proprietors, employees and guests. There is no doubt that this way of naming dishes is the only effective method of reforming and doing away with the medly that now generally exist

Literary historian and scholar George Melnyk engages the dynamic between truth, language, and personal identity. His intent is to take the reader to the limits of language and meaning, to face the wordless reality language tries to describe, and then to bring the reader back in a textual journey that confronts the personal and social dimensions of naming.

Naming Beckett’s Unnamable will interest those seeking a new, absorbing reading of Beckett’s great prose, examining in a unique way the Nouvelles, the trilogy, Texts for Nothing, How It Is, and The Lost Ones, as well as other remarkable, shorter pieces. Adelman does not profess affiliation to any school of Beckett criticism. He focuses his exploration on Beckett’s debt to Franz Kafka’s writing, to his nihilism concerning art, and to the biographical Kafka, the literary persona whose struggle with spiritual deadlock helped Beckett, at crucial impulses in his own art, to
