  • Empiricism and the Problem of Metaphysics

    by Paul Studtmann ...
    If there is one utterly inescapable problem for the metaphysician, it is this: is metaphysics itself a theoretically legitimate discipline? Is it, in other words, capable of a systematic and well-confirmed set of theoretical results? And if not, why not? From its inception, metaphysics has found itself exercised by the nagging worry that its own inquiries might reveal it to be a subject without an ... Read more

  • The World-Time Parallel

    Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics

    by A. A. Rini, M. J. Cresswell ...
    Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an ... Read more

  • Vagueness and Degrees of Truth

    by Nicholas J. J. Smith ...
    In Vagueness and Degrees of Truth, Nicholas Smith develops a new theory of vagueness: fuzzy plurivaluationism. A predicate is said to be vague if there is no sharply defined boundary between the things to which it applies and the things to which it does not apply. For example, 'heavy' is vague in a way that 'weighs over 20 kilograms' is not. A great many predicates - both in everyday talk, and in ... Read more

  • Substantive Perspectivism: An Essay on Philosophical Concern with Truth

    by Bo Mou ...
    Series Book 344 - Synthese Library
    I have been thinking about the philosophical issue of truth for more than two decades.

  • New Essays on the Knowability Paradox

    Edited by Joe Salerno ...
    In 1945 Alonzo Church issued a pair of referee reports in which he anonymously conveyed to Frederic Fitch a surprising proof showing that wherever there is (empirical) ignorance there is also logically unknowable truth. Fitch published this and a generalization of the result in 1963. Ever since, philosophers have been attempting to understand the significance and address the counter-intuitiveness ... Read more

  • Toward Predicate Approaches to Modality

    by Johannes Stern ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In this volume, the author investigates and argues for, a particular answer to the question: What is the right way to logically analyze modalities from natural language within formal languages? The answer is: by formalizing modal expressions in terms of predicates. But, as in the case of truth, the most intuitive modal principles lead to paradox once the modal notions are conceived as predicates ... Read more
