MOLTMANN, F. T., Act-Based Conceptions of Propositional Content. Contemporary and Historical Perspectives. Oxford University Press, 2017. 408p. Hardback. This important collection gives Anglophone contemporary philosophers of mind and language access for the first time to historical and current writing defending the view that the notion of an act, rather than a propositional content, is fundamental in explaining propositional attitudes and their linguistic expression. Collectively the essays provide a substantial philosophical and linguistic challenge to unexamined doctrines that we have inherited. The volume deserves and will repay detailed attention.

MOLTMANN, F., Parts and Wholes in Semantics. Oxford University Press, 2003. 272p. Paperback. This book is a very interesting one. It presents new and promising views of the count/plural/mass distinction, supporting them through extensive discussions of many phenomena. The basic idea - in singling out special entities which play a major role in accounting for count- and plural-like behaviour, according to contextually controllable integrity conditions - is challenging and with far-reaching consequences. Moreover, the breadth of coverage, and the attempts at discussing crosslinguistic and comparative evidence are worth particular notice.

MOLTMANN, F., Abstract Objects and the Semantics of Natural Language. Oxford University Press, 2013. 256p. Hardback.

This book is essential reading for philosophers, linguists and cognitive scientists. Mark Sainsbury, University of Texas at Austin |a 08/04/2013 (Publisher's information). € 119.57 (New) (MD)

MOMMSEN, T. and DICKSON, W. P., The History of Rome: Volume 1. Cambridge University Press, 2010. 532p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Classics. The classical historian Theodor Mommsen (1817–1903) published his History of Rome between 1854 and 1856. His work was received with widespread acclaim by the scholarly community and the reading public. In 1902, in recognition of this monumental work, Mommsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and acclaimed as 'the greatest living master of the art of historical writing'. Mommsen rejected traditional Enlightenment accounts, which glorified ancient Rome; instead, guided by a new and rigorous criticism of sources, he began the demythologisation of Roman history. In a vivacious and engaging style, using modern terms to express classical ideas, Mommsen drew bold parallels between the nineteenth century and classical Rome. Volume 1 begins with Rome's earliest origins and ends with the unification of Italy; it contains separate chapters on religion, law and justice, art, and writing. This 1862 translation is based on the German third edition (1861). (Publisher's information). € 52.18 (New) (MD)
