The Problem with Quantification: An Existential Perspective on the Limits of Numerical Representation [PDF]

Niger Delta Journal of Philosophy & African Values
Quantification has driven the advancement of civilisation and facilitated significant progress in science, engineering, and the humanities. Despite its widespread success, quantification now presents a philosophical challenge: can the use of numbers or measurements to describe phenomena adequately address the complexity of human existence?

Rules of Existential Quantification into "Intensional Contexts"

Studia Logica, 1997
The article describes a solution to the problem of quantifying into intensional contexts, applying the machinery of \textit{P.

Essentially, quantifiers of this kind are interpreted as ranging over individual concepts of a certain kind.
