In Beyond Rigidity, Soames attempts to defend Millianism by articulating a novel account of the semantics and pragmatics of sentences containing
names. Soames uses this account both to respond to the objection that Millianism unintuitively allows the unrestricted substitution
of coreferential names in propositional attitude contexts, and to generate a positive argument for Millianism. I argue that
the positive argument fails, and that Soames’s account of the semantics and pragmatics of sentences containing names is inconsistent
with Millianism.

In this paper, a solution to the problem of theoretical terms is developed that is based on Carnap’s doctrine of indirect
interpretation of theoretical terms. This doctrine will be given a semantic, model-theoretic explanation that is not given
by Carnap himself as he remains content with a syntactic explanation. From that semantic explanation, rules for the truth-value
assignment to postulates, i.e. sentences that determine the meaning of theoretical terms, are derived. The logical status
of postulates will be clarified thereby in such a way that the problem of theoretical terms disappears.

It is widely believed that the so-called knowledge account of assertion best explains why sentences such as “It’s raining
in Paris but I don’t believe it” and “It’s raining in Paris but I don’t know it” appear odd to us. I argue that the rival
rational credibility account of assertion explains that fact just as well. I do so by providing a broadly Bayesian analysis
of the said type of sentences which shows that such sentences cannot express rationally held beliefs. As an interesting aside,
it will be seen that these sentences also harbor a lesson for Bayesian epistemology itself.

This paper traces a lost genealogical connection between Charles S. Peirce’s later theory of signs and contemporary work in
the philosophy of language by John Perry. As is shown, despite some differences, both accounts offer what might be termed
a multi-level account of meaning. Moreover, it is claimed that by adopting a ‘Peircian turn’ in his theory, Perry might overcome
alleged shortcomings in his account of cognitive significance.

This paper concerns the dialectal role of Frege Cases in the debate between Concept Cartesians and Concept Pragmatists. I
take as a starting point Christopher Peacocke’s argument that, unlike Cartesianism, his ‘Fregean’ Pragmatism can account for
facts about the rationality and epistemic status of certain judgments. I argue that since this argument presupposes that the
rationality of thoughts turn on their content, it is thus question-begging against Cartesians, who claim that issues about
rationality turn on the form, not the content, of thoughts. I then consider Jerry Fodor’s argument that ‘modes of presentation’
are not identical with Fregean senses, and argue that explanatory considerations should leads us to reject his ‘syntactic’
treatment of Frege cases. Rejecting the Cartesian treatment of Frege cases, however, is not tantamount to accepting Peacocke’s
claim that reasons and rationality are central to the individuation of concepts. For I argue that we can steer a middle course
between Fodor’s Cartesianism and Peacocke’s Pragmatism, and adopt a form of Pragmatism that is constrained by Fregean considerations,
but at the same time denies that concepts are constitutively tied to reasons and rationality.

This essay proposes a semantic analysis of biscuit-conditionals, such as Austin’s classic example “there are biscuits in the
cupboard if you want some”. The analysis is grounded on the ideas of contextual restrictions, and of non-character encoded
aspects of meaning, and provides a rigorous framework for the widespread intuitions that (i) the if-clause in a biscuit-conditional
is truth-conditionally idle, but (ii) it ‘qualifies’ the speech-act in question. In the concluding section of this essay,
the analysis is also applied to the importantly similar phenomenon of speech-act adverbs.

In the paper there is presented the semantic interpretation of idealism/realism controversy which is one of the most essential
issues in Ingarden’s phenomenological project of ontology. The procedure of semantic paraphrase which is contemporary developed
by Woleński, is the main interpretative tool. In the central part of the paper, there is formulated the formal theory of the
semantic framework underlying idealism/realism discourse. Finally, there are formulated some notes showing that intentional
conception of negation may be used for defending various idealistic positions.

Relatively little is known about the factor structure of disruptive behavior among preadolescent girls. The present study
reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as rated
by parents and teachers in a large, representative community sample of girls (N = 2,451). Five factors were identified from parent ratings (oppositional behavior/conduct problems, inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity,
relational aggression, and callous-unemotional behaviors), and four factors were identified derived from teacher ratings (oppositional
behavior/conduct problems/callous-unemotional behaviors, inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, and relational aggression).
There was a high degree of consistency of items loading on equivalent factors across parent and teacher ratings. Year-to-year
stability of factors between ages five and 12 was high for parent ratings (ICC = 0.70 to 0.88), and slightly lower for teacher
ratings (ICC = 0.56 to 0.83). These findings are discussed in terms of possible adjustment to the criteria for children's
disruptive behavior disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders.

In part 4 of Meaning, Expression, and Thought, Davis rejects what he calls Fregean ideational theories, according to which the meaning of an expression is an idea; and
then presents his own account, which states that, e.g., the meaning of ‘Primzahl’ in German is the property of meaning prime number. Before casting doubt on the latter ontology of meanings, I come to Frege’s defence by pointing out that he was not an advocate
of the position Davis named after him because Fregean senses are not lexical meanings and Fregean thoughts are not types of
mental events.

The Logic and Meaning of Plurals. Part II 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Byeong-uk Yi 《Journal of Philosophical Logic》2006,35(3):239-288
In this sequel to “The logic and meaning of plurals. Part I”, I continue to present an account of logic and language that
acknowledges limitations of singular constructions of natural languages and recognizes plural constructions as their peers.
To this end, I present a non-reductive account of plural constructions that results from the conception of plurals as devices
for talking about the many. In this paper, I give an informal semantics of plurals, formulate a formal characterization of
truth for the regimented languages that results from augmenting elementary languages with refinements of basic plural constructions
of natural languages, and account for the logic of plural constructions by characterizing the logic of those regimented languages.

Number sense and quantifier interpretation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
We consider connections between number sense—the ability to judge number—and the interpretation of natural language quantifiers.
In particular, we present empirical evidence concerning the neuroanatomical underpinnings of number sense and quantifier interpretation.
We show, further, that impairment of number sense in patients can result in the impairment of the ability to interpret sentences
containing quantifiers. This result demonstrates that number sense supports some aspects of the language faculty.

In his recent book, In Praise of Blame, George Sher argues (among other things) that a bad act can reflect negatively on a person if that act results in an appropriate
way from that person’s “character,” and defends a novel “two-tiered” account of what it is to blame someone. In these brief
comments, I raise some questions and doubts about each of these aspects of his rich and thought-provoking account.

Kantian non-conceptualism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Robert Hanna 《Philosophical Studies》2008,137(1):41-64
There are perceptual states whose representational content cannot even in principle be conceptual. If that claim is true,
then at least some perceptual states have content whose semantic structure and psychological function are essentially distinct
from the structure and function of conceptual content. Furthermore the intrinsically “orientable” spatial character of essentially
non-conceptual content entails not only that all perceptual states contain non-conceptual content in this essentially distinct sense, but also that consciousness goes all the way down into so-called unconscious or subpersonal mental states. Both my argument for the existence of essentially non-conceptual
content and my theory of its structure and function have a Kantian provenance.

In this article I introduce a certain kind of anti-realist account of what makes a property essential to an object and defend
it against likely objections. This account, which I call a ‘conferralist’ account, shares some of the attractive features
of other anti-realist accounts, such as conventionalism and expressivism, but I believe, not their respective drawbacks.

Some authors have recently claimed that relativism about knowledge sentences accommodates the context sensitivity of our use
of such sentences as well as contextualism, while avoiding the counterintuitive consequences of contextualism regarding our
inter-contextual judgments, that is, our judgments about knowledge claims made in other contexts. I argue that relativism,
like contextualism, involves an error theory regarding a certain class of inter-contextual judgments.

Consideration of a paradox originally discovered by John Buridan provides a springboard for a general solution to paradoxes
within the Liar family. The solution rests on a philosophical defence of truth-value-gaps and is consistent (non-dialetheist),
avoids ‘revenge’ problems, imports no ad hoc assumptions, is not applicable to only a proper subset of the semantic paradoxes
and implies no restriction of the expressive capacities of language.

This article emphasizes an underappreciated aspect of Freud’s critique of religion taken up in the writings of Ricoeur and
Castoriadis: the degree to which pathologies of desire and duty imbue our relation to shared cultural forms, i.e., narratives,
ideals, and values. Both thinkers find in Freud’s anti-religious polemic a valuable attempt to address the intransigence,
fanaticism, and violence that can result from an unreflected affirmation of Tradition. Alongside developing a respect and
acceptance of other cultures, they argue for the need to establish a critical relation to ‘sacred’meaning structures, one
that mirrors interpretive strategies within the psychoanalytic process. Ricoeur and Castoriadis critique Freud’s accentuation
of neurosis while extending his thinking into personal-philosophical and social-political contexts.

Wayne Davis’s Meaning, Expression and Thought argues that linguistic meaning is conventional use to express ideas. An obvious problem with this proposal is that complex
expressions that have never been used are nonetheless meaningful. In response to this concern, Davis associates conventions
of use not only with linguistic expressions but also with the modes in which such expressions can combine into larger expressions.
I argue that such constructive conventions are in conflict with the principle of compositionality (as it is usually understood)
and that (at least in the cases Davis considers) they are unnecessary for semantic explanations.
