    Analogous Parts of Possible Worlds

    par Eric Steinhart ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Metaphors and Logic Metaphors are among the most vigorous offspring of the creative mind; but their vitality springs from the fact that they are logical organisms in the ecology of l- guage. I aim to use logical techniques to analyze the meanings of metaphors. My goal here is to show how contemporary formal semantics can be extended to handle metaphorical utterances. What distinguishes this work ... En savoir plus

    par J. Curthoys, V. Dudman ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

    An Ultimate Presupposition of Twentieth-Century Philosophy

    par Jaakko Hintikka ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

    An updated approach to the meaning of truth ascriptions

    par Maria Jose Frapolli ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

  • Truth and Its Nature (if Any)

    Modifié par J. Peregrin ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    The question how to turn the principles implicitly governing the concept of truth into an explicit definition (or explication) of the concept hence coalesced with the question how to get a finite grip on the infinity of T-sentences. Tarski's famous and ingenious move was to introduce a new concept, satisfaction, which could be, on the one hand, recursively defined, and which, on the other hand, ... En savoir plus

It is argued that plural and ... En savoir plus

    par Pavel Materna, Marie Duží, Bjorn Jespersen ...
    Collections series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book is about Transparent Intensional Logic, the brainchild of Pavel Tichý. Three books and around 100 papers on Transparent Intensional Logic have till now seen the light of day since the mid-1960s. So why a book of more than 500 pages now? For two reasons.

    par Andrea Rocci ...
    Collections series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book addresses two related questions that have first arisen in Toulmin’s seminal book on the uses of argument.

The second question is the one of the distinctive place, or role, of modality in the fundamental structure of arguments. These two questions concern how ... En savoir plus
