Focusing on a new approach to semantical analysis, the book introduces the method of extension and intension, which redefines the understanding of linguistic meanings. By modifying traditional concepts of class and property, it contrasts this innovative method with conventional semantical approaches that treat expressions as names of entities. Instead, it emphasizes that expressions embody both an intension and an extension, offering a fresh perspective on meaning in language.
