In natural languages the term `actually' is used ambiguously. The author formalizes propositional and quantified modal logics with indices ascribed to the modal operator of necessity and to the `actuality operator', which should make it possible to avoid the ambiguities. Both systems, together with extensions of six systems of standard modal logic, are

Logique et Analyse, 2014
The notion of validity for modal languages could be defined in two slightly different ways. The first is the original definition given by S. Kripke, for which a formula Φ of a modal language L is valid if and only if it is true in every actual world of every interpretation of L.

Mereotopologies with Predicates of Actual Existence and Actual Contact
Fundamenta Informaticae, 2017We discuss in this work the importance of some predicates of ontological existence in mereology and in mereotopology especially for systems incorporating time. Tarski showed that mereology can be identified in some sense with complete Boolean algebras with zero 0 deleted.

The archivability of reality in images that capture a fleeting moment, or a series of them, bringing them back to life as‘undead’ reality, suffuses the ‘symphony of horror’ that is Nosferatu, and allows for the discussion of a longstanding cinematic horror discourse around mediation and documentation that predates millennial horror and the found ...

Abstract The work of Frank Jackson has been important to at least two central debates in consequentialist ethical theory: (1) between possibilism and actualism and (2) between objective consequentialism and expectabilism (or a variety of subjective consequentialism).

Actuality and Actuality as of a Time
2000Abstract Characterizes certain notions that are needed for stating the central claim of the book.Facts are to be identified with states of affairs, which are the truth‐makers for true propositions. The concept of a state of affair's existence or actuality should be taken as basic and unanalysable.

Actual Preferences, Actual People
Utilitas, 1991Maximizing want-satisfactionper seis a relatively unattractive aspiration, for it seems to assume that wants are somehow disembodied entities with independent moral claims all of their own. Actually, of course, they are possessed by particular people. What preference-utilitarians should be concerned with is how people's lives go—the fulfilment of their

Actuality and Actuality as of a Time
2001Readers of Michael Tooley’s excellent book Causation: A Realist Approach (1987) will rightly predict that Time,Tense, and Causation will also contain many interesting and highly original theses that are supported by some intricate precisely formulated arguments.

In my reply to the commentaries by Babette Babich and Robert C. Scharff I make a distinction between critical remarks and additions that are relevant for my view on philosophy for substantive reasons and others that relate to a style or way of philosophizing. My reply to Scharff concerns the latter.

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1984
In this paper I present the model-theoretic semantics for modal languages with an actuality operator; I axiomatize the valid and the strongly valid formulae of any such language. I then prove that certain conditions on modal models which are easily expressed using quantification over possibilia cannot be expressed in quantified modal languages ...
