Telling What She Thinks

Frege’s puzzle concerning belief reports has been in the middle of the discussion on semantics and pragmatics of attitude reports: The intuition behind the opacity does not seem to be consistent with the thesis of semantic innocence according to which the semantic value of proper names is nothing but their referent. Main tasks of this book include providing truth-conditional content of belief reports. Especially, the focusis on semantic values of proper names. The keyaim is to extend Crimmins’s basic idea of semantic pretense and the introduction of pleonastic entities proposed by Schiffer. They enable us to capture Frege’s puzzle in the analysis without giving up semantic innocence. To reach this conclusion, two issues are established. First, based on linguistic evidence, the frame of belief reports functions adverbially rather than relationally. Second, the belief ascriptions, on which each belief report is made, must be analyzed in terms of the measurement-theoretic analogy.

A Pulitzer Prize--winning editorialist and a former syndicated columnist, Edwin M. Yoder Jr. spent forty years as a newspaper journalist. Telling Others What to Think, he writes, is about "an education in its broadest sense," the experiences and personal influences that formed him. Yoder became a full-time editorial writer at the early age of twenty-four, and he traces his aptitude for punditry to the southern storytelling tradition, a long family heritage of scholars and schoolteachers, and his father's being "opinionated" -- in the better sense of that word. Journalism, Yoder says, was a way to be a writer and still put bread on the table, and throughout his career, he would excel as a prose craftsman. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill -- where he edited the Daily Tar Heel -- he studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and then returned to his home state, a place celebrated for lively newspaper editorial writing. First at the Charlotte News and then at the Greensboro Daily News, Yoder took on the Birch Society and segregation, among other targets. Throughout his memoir, he credits unbidden good fortune -- rather than any planned path -- with shaping his destiny. The call to go to Washington, D.C. -- a "Mecca for journalists" -- as editorial page editor of the Star was more good luck in Yoder's view. He won a Pulitzer at the Star in 1979, and when that paper folded in 1981, he joined the Washington Post Writers Group as a syndicated columnist. For fifteen years his column appeared in many major regional newspapers around the country and abroad in London and Paris. In his book, Yoder is most compelling when describing the pleasures and hazards of maintaining professional and social relationships with people in the arena of politics and public life -- including Washington Post editorial page editor Meg Greenfield, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, writer and editor Willie Morris, and Georgetown University president Father Timothy Healy. Circumspect, forthright, and generous in his reflections, Yoder the man and the pundit prove to be the same. An appendix presents a portfolio of his past columns, sage advice to the aspiring opinion writer, and thoughts on the tabloidization of news in recent years. A rich and intriguing personal story of someone whose job it was to comment on the events of the day, Ed Yoder's Telling Others What to Think speaks eloquently as well of the wider world of American politics and culture.

Chris Matthews has been playing "hardball" since the day he was born. From his first political run-in in the first grade to his years working as presidential speechwriter for Jimmy Carter and top aide to Tip O'Neill, Matthews grew up loving his country and dreaming of his chance to protect it. As one of the most honest, brash, and in-your-face journalists on TV, he has finally gotten the chance. The host of television's Hardball and bestselling author of such classics as Hardball and Kennedy & Nixon, Matthews is a political cop who insists on the truth and nothing but. In this latest work, Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, Chris Matthews is at his brilliant, blunt, bulldogged best. From the Cold War to the Clinton years, Matthews gives the straight-up account of what it means to be an American. Matthews tells us about his "God and Country" Catholic school education in Philadelphia complete with Cold War air-raid drills and his early enthusiasm for politics. He shares with us his life's adventures: two years in Africa with the Peace Corps, the challenge of running for Congress in his twenties, and his three decades deep in the "belly of the beast" of American politics. Matthews has made his name as a razor-sharp journalist who cross-examines the politicians in Washington and takes on the Los Angeles and New York elite who view America's heartland as "fly-over country." In Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, Matthews rallies those who "work hard and play by the rules" and celebrates the wisdom learned from a U.S. Capitol policeman more than twenty years ago, "The little man loves his country, because it's all he's got." A hard-to-categorize maverick with an uncool love for his country, Matthews gives an irreverent look at who we are and whom we trust to lead us.

Because many people dream of giving their weak leadership, choleric or narcissistic bosses a thorough talking to once, but fear negative consequences up to and including losing their job.

Employees without an official superior function subtly influence management in organizations and indirectly steer their actions and behavior, for example when they co-moderate meetings with rhetorical skill or motivate the team or repeatedly pull the coals out of the fire for the company. To do this, it is important to understand the communication behavior and psychology of other people. The advantage of these interpersonal power games is obvious: In this way, one not only secures one's own position in the company, but also gains a considerable amount of personal freedom.
