A Kripke-Lewis semantics for belief update and belief revision [PDF]
Giacomo Bonanno

Abstract I outline a novel counterexample to the principle of belief revision, Anticipation: if both learning e$e$ and learning not‐e$e$ would render belief in p$p$ unjustified, you cannot now be justified in believing p$p$. If I am right, not only is the leading theory of belief revision false, so are various recently proposed weakenings.

A Criticism of Kripke’s Semantic for Intuitionistic Logic
This note aims to examine critically Kripke’s semantics for propositional intuitionistic logic. Kripke’s semantic is extensionally correct with respect to propositional intuitionistic logic, that is, the calculus is sound and complete with respect to the

: In this review I discuss Joseph Almog's book "Referential Mechanics". The book discusses direct reference as conceived by three of its founding fathers, Kripke, Kaplan and Donnellan, and introduces Almog's ambitious project of providing a referential ...

Causal Theory of Reference of Saul Kripke [PDF]
Since the 1960s, Kripke has been a central figure in several fields related to mathematical logic, language philosophy, mathematical philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology and set theory.

Abstract Conceptual representations can be shaped by multiple factors, including expertise. In this study, we tested whether the concept of water is represented differently across laypeople and chemists, focusing on psychological essentialism. Essentialized categories are thought to be determined by internal factors (e.g., chemical composition ...

Completeness by Modal Definitions. Application to the Epistemic Logic With Hypotheses
We investigate the variant of epistemic logic S5 for reasoning about knowledge under hypotheses. The logic is equipped with a modal operator of necessity that can be parameterized with a hypothesis representing background assumptions.

Completeness of Flat Coalgebraic Fixpoint Logics
Modal fixpoint logics traditionally play a central role in computer science, in particular in artificial intelligence and concurrency. The mu-calculus and its relatives are among the most expressive logics of this type.

Conceptual engineering, language use, and the neutral implementation challenge
Abstract Conceptual engineering projects have been targeted by what is known as the “implementation challenge,” which calls for an account of how it is possible to change meanings, given that we have no control over the complex ways in which meaning supervenes (for example) on patterns of use.

Abstract A central issue in conceptual engineering is the “implementation challenge”: the problem of how—or whether—conceptual revisions can be brought about, given our lack of control over the factors that determine meaning. Social externalism, which holds that semantic meaning is determined by the usage of experts within a linguistic community, seems
