Modal Quarc and Barcan
I develop a modal extension of the QUantified ARgument Calculus ()—a novel logical system introduced by Hanoch Ben-Yami. is meant to better capture the logic of natural language. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate this claim by considering how modal () handles the Barcan and Converse Barcan Formulas and how this correlates to surrounding debates. To do so, I develop a variable domain semantics for and show that even if the usual domain cond…
Quine on explication
The main goal of this paper is to work out Quine's account of explication. Quine does not provide a general account but considers a paradigmatic example which does not fit other examples he claims to be explications. Besides working out Quine's account of explication and explaining this tension, I show how it connects to other notions such as paraphrase and ontological commitment. Furthermore, I relate Quinean explication to Carnap's conception a…
The unbearable circularity of easy ontology
In this paper, I argue that Amie Thomasson’s Easy Ontology rests on a vicious circularity that is highly damaging. Easy Ontology invokes the idea of application conditions that give rise to analytic entailments . Such entailments can be used to answer ontological questions easily. I argue that the application conditions for basic terms are only circularly specifiable showing that Thomasson misses her self-set goal of preventing such a circularity…
