Possible-Worlds Semantics Without Possible Worlds: The Agnostic Approach

Mind, 2006
If a possible-worlds semantic theory for modal logics is pure, then the assertion of the theory, taken at face-value, can bring no commitment to the existence of a plurality of possible worlds (genuine or ersatz). But if we consider an applied theory (an application of the pure theory) in which the elements of the models are required to be possible ...

Possible World Semantics for Defeasible Deontic Logic

2012
Defeasible Deontic Logic is a simple and computationally efficient approach for the representation of normative reasoning. Traditionally defeasible logics are defined proof theoretically based on the proof conditions for the logic. While several logic programming, operational and argumentation semantics have been provided for defeasible logics ...

Possible Worlds Semantics and the Liar

2003
In this paper I discuss a paradox, due to David Kaplan, that in his view threatens the use of possible worlds semantics as a model-theoretic framework for intensional logic.1 Kaplan’s paradox starts out from an intuitively reasonable principle that I refer to as the Principle of Plenitude. From this principle he derives a contradiction in what he calls

Possible Worlds and Formal Semantics

1979
Since Prof. Hintikka is one of those philosophers and logicians who are responsible for the popularity of possible worlds, and in view of his pioneering work on the methodology of the semantics of modal notions, it is perhaps understandable that my contribution to his Festschrift concerns possible worlds, too, no matter how amateurish it may be.
