This paper is an attempt to put forward a new kind of partial model for representing belief states. I first introduce some philosophical motivations for working with partial models. Then, I present the standard (total) model proposed by Hintikka, and the partial models studied by Humberstone and Holliday. I then show how to reduce Hintikka’s semantics in order to obtain a partial model which, however, differs from Humberstone’s and Holliday’s. The nature of such differences is assessed, and I provide motivations for using the newly proposed semantics rather than the existing ones. Finally, I review some promising philosophical applications of the ideas developed throughout the discussion. 相似文献

According to ‘Fitting Attitude’ (FA) analyses of value, for an object to be valuable is for that object to have properties—other
than its being valuable—that make it a fitting object of certain responses. In short, if an object is positively valuable it is fitting to favour it; if an object is negatively valuable it is fitting to disfavour it. There are several variants of FA analyses. Some hold that for an object to be valuable is for it to be such that it ought to be favoured; others hold that value is analyzable in terms of reasons or requirements to favour. All these variants of the FA analysis are subject to a partiality challenge: there are circumstances in which some agents have reasons to favour or disfavour some object—due to the personal relations
in which they stand to the object—without this having any bearing on the value of the object. A. C. Ewing was one of the first
philosophers to draw attention to the partiality challenge for FA analyses. In this paper I explain the challenge and consider
Ewing's responses, one of which is preferable to the other, but none of which is entirely satisfactory. I go on to develop
an alternative Brentano-inspired response that Ewing could have offered and that may well be preferable to the responses Ewing
actually did offer.
