    by Aristotle ...
    The Metaphysics presents Aristotle's mature rejection of both the Platonic theory that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of reality and the hardheaded view that all processes are ultimately material.

    by Marcus Kracht ...

Yet since the emergence of formal semantics in the 1970s, the issue of compositionality has gained traction in the theoretical debate, ... Read more
