No puzzles about truth for nonrealist cognitivism
Abstract Derek Parfit defended a metaethical theory which he calls nonrealist cognitivism. According to this theory, there are irreducibly normative truths that stand without ontological implications. A lot of literature has been dedicated to raising puzzles about the coherency of such a theory. The aim of this article is to solve a puzzle specifically

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 ...

Frege’s recognition criterion for thoughts and its problems
According to Frege, we need a criterion for recognising when different sentences express the same thought to make progress in logic. He himself hedged his own equipollence criterion with a number of provisos.

After presenting Kripke’s criticism to Frege’s ideas on context dependence of thoughts, I present two recent attempts of considering cognitive aspects of context dependent expressions inside a truth conditional pragmatics or semantics: Recanati’s non ...

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 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,
