Summary:

'Wittgenstein and the Possibility of Meaning' develops a new, non-reductionist response to the sceptical argument about meaning famously developed in by Kripke. Alexander Miller argues that understanding an expression is a matter of having an intention to exercise one's ability to use it in accord with its meaning or correctness condition.
