The Question of Referentiality

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most theorists have offered different accounts of reference fixing for names, demonstratives, and indexicals. Indeed, this variety can seem an inevitable response to a certain class of hard cases. Here, I will offer a unified account of reference fixing equally capable of handling these cases.

On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transitive relation. Here we consider global features of representational systems to break new ground in the assessment of the intransitivity view. From

Linear Kripke frames and Gödel logics [PDF]

, 2007
We investigate the relation between logics of countable linear Kripke frames with constant domains and Gödel logics. We show that for any such Kripke frame there is a Gödel logic which coincides with the logic of this Kripke frame and vice versa.

Death, Deprivation, and the Symmetry Problem

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the deprivation account of the badness of death, death is bad for the one who dies because it deprives her of goods she would otherwise have enjoyed. This view faces the so‐called symmetry problem when one considers prenatal nonexistence. Scholars have proposed various solutions to this problem, but all of them encounter their own

Descartes in Two Dimensions

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Descartes' cogito argument is perhaps the most well‐known philosophical argument, the conclusion of which is supposed to be a form of rationalism that allows for contingent a priori knowledge of the world. In this short note, I argue that, in fact, the all important statement, ‘I am, I exist’, should be analysed through the lens of (classical)

Enunciados necesarios a posteriori, necesidad débil y racionalismo

Ideas y Valores, 2016
Se afirma que los enunciados necesarios a posteriori, propuestos por S. Kripke, exigen una comprensión débil de la necesidad; esto quiere decir: a) existencia contingente del designatum (no existencia en toda situación contrafáctica) y b) dependencia ...

Intuíciók mint döntőbírók

Elpis, 2014
Érdemes-e szemantikai elméleteket kísérleti eszközökkel tesztelnünk, és ha igen, hogyan? E kérdéseket az elmúlt évtizedben kirobbant kísérleti szemantikai vitával kapcsolatban fogom megvizsgálni.

The I in logic

Theoria, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper argues for the significance of Kaplan's logic LD in two ways: first, by looking at how logic got along before we had LD, and second, by using it to bring out the similarity between David Hume's thesis that one cannot deduce claims about the future on the basis of premises only about the past, and the so‐called "essentiality" of the ...

Winged horses, rascals and discourse referents

Theoria, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper discusses some remarks Kaplan made in ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice’ concerning empty names. I show how his objections to a particular view involving descriptions derived from Ramsification can be avoided by a nearby alternative framed in terms of discourse reference.
