The Conjunction Principle says, roughly, that if the truth of a conjunction can be brought about, then the truth of each conjunct can be brought about.
The current essay argues that this principle is not valid. After a clarification of the principle, it is shown how a proper
understanding of the involved notions falsify the principle. As a corollary, a recent attack on van Inwagen’s Consequence Argument will be rebutted, because it relies on the invalid conjunction principle. 相似文献

The semantic rules that govern ordinary property discourse appear to give rise to a version of Russell's antinomy. Do we therefore have an inconsistent conception of properties? This paper firstly develops a consistent conception of properties and secondly argues that we may indeed interpret ordinary property discourse as expressing the consistent conception rather than an inconsistent one. 相似文献

The article is primarily concerned with the notion of a truth-maker. An explication for this notion is offered, which relates
it to other notions of making something such-and-such. In particular, it is shown that the notion of a truth-maker is a close relative of a concept employed by van Inwagen in
the formulation of his Consequence Argument. This circumstance helps understanding the general mechanisms of the concepts involved. Thus, a schematic explication of
a whole battery of related notions is offered. It is based on an explanatory notion, introduced by the sentential connector
“because”, whose function is examined in some detail. Finally, on the basis of the explication proposed, an argument is developed
to the effect that the objects usually regarded as truth-makers are not apt to play this role. 相似文献

The argument for modal collapse is partly responsible for the widespread rejection of the so‐called Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) in recent times. This paper discusses the PSR against the background of the recent debate about grounding and develops principled reasons for rejecting the argument from modal collapse. 相似文献
