W. V. Quine is commonly read as holding that there are no analytic truths and no a priori truths. I argue that this is a misreading. Quine’s view is that no sentence is determinately analytic or determinately a priori. I show that my reading is better supported by Quine’s arguments and general remarks about meaning and analyticity.

Abstract Many philosophers take for granted that there is a strong pre‐theoretical intuition that the future is open and that it is worth trying to make sense of that intuition in theoretical terms. In this paper, I give a characterisation of the ordinary intuition in terms of three elements: our sense of agency, the difference in normativity between ...

Integrated Framework of Optimization Technique and Information Theory Measures for Modeling Neutrosophic Variables [PDF]
Uncertainty and indeterminacy are two major problems in data analysis these days. Neutrosophy is a generalization of the fuzzy theory. Neutrosophic system is based on indeterminism and falsity of concepts in addition to truth degrees.

Abstract In a recent paper, Patrick Todd and Brian Rabern argued that—contra both Thomason's supervaluationism and MacFarlane's relativism—an “open future” view is incompatible with the principle they call “Retro‐closure”, according to which today's rain implies that yesterday it was true that it would rain a day later.

Geometric Relational Framework for General‐Relativistic Gauge Field Theories
Abstract It is recalled how relationality arises as the core insight of general‐relativistic gauge field theories from the articulation of the generalized hole and point‐coincidence arguments. Hence, a compelling case for a manifestly relational framework ensues naturally.
