It is through the reference of the linguistic expressions that one may come to know about the world or reality or ontology. It has been acknowledged that language does refer and the referential function of language is helpful to know about reality. However, the paradigm of reference and the of reference remains a bone of contention to the philosophers. Putnam the magical theory of reference.. According to Putnam, the magical theory of reference is a big default of reference. He, therefore, attempts to overcome the default through the analysis of the metaphor 'brains in a vat'.The main strategy of this paper is to exemplify the philosophical insight and significance of the metaphor 'brains in a vat' while solving the problem of reference.Item Open Access Scope and Substitution(Northern Book Centre, 2022-01-01) Bora, Mayank; Das, Kanti Lal; Basak, Jyotish ChandraThe problem of substitution failure in propositional attitude reports, raised by Frege (1892), led to the rejection of the Millian understanding of names. Taking after Frege, many have assumed that substitution failure depends upon the relevant names occurring within the scope of attitude verbs. It is also assumed that attitude reports (with one attitude verb) have exactly two kinds of readings: a substitution resisting one, and a substitution allowing one. The two readings are widely taken to be due to a syntactical ambiguity because of which the concerned names may be read either inside or outside the scope of the attitude verb. The overall received wisdom then is that scope is of absolute significance for the issue of substitution failure. I try to bring out a third kind of reading of attitude reports that, as I shall argue, show the received wisdom to be misplaced.Item Open Access Socio philosophical understanding of untouchability: past and present(University of North Bengal, 2017) Roy, Jadab; Das, Kanti LalItem Open Access Understanding religious language as a form of life : Philosophical quest after later wittgenstein(University of North Bengal, 2021) Deka, Anup; Das, Kanti LalItem Open Access Wittgenstein on Religious Epistemology(University of North Bengal, 2016-03) Das, Kanti Lal
