NDPR on Metaphysics and the Representational Fallacy. “… philosophers all too often argue from claims about language to conclusions about non-linguistic reality. ” It’s hard to disagree with that even though I think it can be overstated. The review is a nice overview of the problem even if it’s not really a positive review of the book.
