    Nolwenn Salmon, Nathan SalmonCHAPTEREmpty Representations2014

    Four accounts, three of them Kantian, of true sentences of the form ' exists' are contrasted. Russell's theory that such sentences are meaningless is contrasted with two other Kantian theories that are analogous to one another: Frege's semantic-ascent theory and the Frege-inspired ungerade (indirect, 'oblique') theory. Frege's objection to the semantic-ascent account of identity is applied, ironically with equal force, against his account of exis…

  • The Logic of What Might Have Been

    Nolwenn Salmon, Nathan SalmonARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1989Cited by: 14

    In earlier work I argued (following Hugh Chandler) that the conventionally accepted system S5 of (first-order) modal propositional logic, and even the weaker system S4, embody an invalid pattern of modal reasoning; they are fallacious systems for reasoning about what might have been.1 I argued, in fact, that the characteristic S4 axiom schema, IkDEIILI-or equivalently, the principle that for any necessarily true proposition p, the proposition tha…
