Things That are Right with the Traditional Square of Opposition
Meinong und die Gegenstandstheorie
On Denoting Propositions and Facts
In Denoting, Bertrand Russell maintains that the key to an understanding of denoting ordinary things is an analysis of the logical syntax of sentences containing the definite article 'the'. In somewhat the same vein, I think that the key to an analysis of denoting propositions and facts must be an analysis of the logical syntax of sentences containing the complementizer 'that', the word that forms that-clauses, such as 'that snow is white'. I But…
Tropes and Supervenience
Bennett says that events are tropes, and he adds: ...this view about what events are is hardly even controversial. (p. 93) Whether this is true or not depends on what tropes are. I think that he is right on one of the interpretations. My goal is to delimit the interpretations, and say which is correct. When people talk about tropes they give examples and explanations. Examples of tropes are: this whiteness, Socrates' whiteness, Socrates' snubnose…
Entities Without Identity
ION: (x)(x s {yiP} P[x/y]) (where P is any formula of classical quantification theory constructed using &, v, -, and universal and existential quantifiers, which does not contain x free, and P[x/y] is the result of replacing every free occurrence of y by an occurrence of x). EXTENSIONALITY: A = B (x)(x s A _ x s B), where 'A' and 'B' are set abstracts as characterized above. The question of the consistency of this kind of set theory with the inde…

Essentialism and Quantified Modal Logic
Grades of Essentialism in Quantified Modal Logic
W. V. Quine distinguishes three grades of modal involvement.2 The first grade occurs when predicates like analytic are appended to names of sentences. The second occurs when a word like necessarily is used within sentences as an operator. And the third occurs as soon as this necessity operator is allowed to precede open sentences containing variables which are bound by quantifiers which precede the operator. This third grade of modal involvement,…
