Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper is about the hierarchy view: that each word has infinitely many meanings, arranged into levels, with the level n meaning serving as its semantic value when it occurs embedded to degree n in indirect or attitude reporting verbs. Departing from the famous debates over the bare tenability of the hierarchy view, I focus on whether there

Bulletin of the Section of LogicIn this paper, we prove the semantic incompleteness of some expansions of the Hilbert-style system for the minimal normal term-modal logic with equality and non-rigid terms that were proposed in Liberman et al.

Bad Practices: Unintended Consequences of Practice‐Based Theories of Reference
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Practice theories are a genus of causal theories of reference. They claim that the semantic referent of an utterance of a name is determined by features of a practice of using that name to speaker‐refer to, or coordinate actions around, a certain object.

A Comparison of Implications in Orthomodular Quantum Logic—Morphological Analysis of Quantum Logic
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2012 Morphological operators are generalized to lattices as adjunction pairs (Serra, 1984; Ronse, 1990; Heijmans and Ronse, 1990; Heijmans, 1994). In particular, morphology for set lattices is applied to analyze logics through Kripke semantics (Bloch, 2002 ...

The Modal Logic of Aristotelian Diagrams
Axioms, 2023 In this paper, we introduce and study AD-logic, i.e., a system of (hybrid) modal logic that can be used to reason about Aristotelian diagrams. The language of AD-logic, LAD, is interpreted on a kind of birelational Kripke frames, which we call “AD-frames”

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

A Logic for Quantum Register Measurements
Axioms, 2019 We know that quantum logics are the most prominent logical systems associated to the lattices of closed Hilbert subspaces. However, what happen if, following a quantum computing perspective, we want to associate a logic to the process of quantum ...

Kripke-Style Models for Logics of Evidence and Truth
Axioms, 2020 In this paper, we propose Kripke-style models for the logics of evidence and truth LETJ and LETF. These logics extend, respectively, Nelson’s logic N4 and the logic of first-degree entailment (FDE) with a classicality operator ∘ that recovers classical ...

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Joint inquiry requires agents to exchange public content about some target domain, which in turn requires them to track which content a linguistic form contributes to a conversation. But, often, the inquiry delivers a necessary truth. For example, if we are inquiring whether a particular bird, Tweety, is a woodpecker, and discover that it is ...

Semantics of Propositional Fuzzy Modal Logic with Evaluated Syntax and its Application to Fuzzy Decision Implications [PDF]
International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2015 This paper deals with propositional fuzzy modal logic with evaluated syntax based on MV-algebras. We focus on its semantical theory from the viewpoint of Pavelka's graded semantics of propositional fuzzy logic, investigate the L-tautologies based on ...
