ABSTRACT Contemporary epistemologists analysing knowledge take (true) propositions to be the object of knowledge. In this paper, I provide an argument for the claim that the object of knowledge is, in fact, the world. The propositions in propositional knowledge ascriptions merely describe the part of the world of which the subject is aware. Kent Bach's

Force, content and logic [PDF]
The Frege point to the effect that e.g. the clauses of conditionals are not asserted and therefore cannot be assertions is often taken to establish a dichotomy between the content of a speech act, which is propositional and belongs to logic and semantics,

Union–Member Engagement in Cambodia's Construction Sector

On the proof complexity of Paris-harrington and off-diagonal ramsey tautologies [PDF]
We study the proof complexity of Paris-Harrington’s Large Ramsey Theorem for bi-colorings of graphs and of off-diagonal Ramsey’s Theorem. For Paris-Harrington, we prove a non-trivial conditional lower bound in Resolution and a non-trivial upper bound ...

The paper concerns a technical argument adduced by Frege in section 10 of his Grundgesetze. Peter Schroeder-Heister has reconstructed this argument model-theoretically and argued that it does not establish its conclusion which is, in any case, false. We argue that this reconstruction goes awry. Frege's argument can be reconstructed model-theoretically,

McDowell and Sellars on Objective Purport
Abstract John McDowell has criticized Wilfrid Sellars on several occasions and over a number of years for his ‘non‐relational’ account of intentionality.

In Defense of a Pragmatic Interpretation of Bambi Sentences
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the debate surrounding bound uses of names. My primary aim is to argue that bound interpretations of names do not provide evidence that names semantically have bound uses. I begin by outlining the motivation for the view that names do have semantic bound uses, then offer several reasons to reject this view.

The Unity of a Tractarian Fact [PDF]
It is not immediately clear from Wittgenstein’s Tractatus how to connect his idea there of an object with the logical ontologies of Frege and Russell. Toward clarification on this matter, this paper compares Russell’s and Wittgenstein’s versions of the ...
