Description: "The Emotive Theory was a theory ahead of its time, and a theory which was, perhaps understandably, misinterpreted, misrepresented and ridiculed by its critics from the outset. In Emotion, Truth and Meaning, Dr. Wilks not only acquaints the reader with what the original emotivists actually claimed (and clarifies what they actually meant when they made some of the more controversial claims); he enriches their claims by psychologically expanding them."--Jacket.
