Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Sean Walsh (University of California, Los Angeles)
Title: Modeling contingently existing propositions (and other intensions). Abstract: The traditional Montagovian framework for the analysis of intensional language uses constant domain models. However, in other areas of philosophy which employ modal logic, it is much more common to use variable domain models which permit various forms of contingent existence. Part of the difficulty in…

Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Amie Thomasson (Dartmouth): “How should we think about linguistic function?”

December 3, 2020 -ECT/CEPPA Talk – Sarah Moss (University of Michigan)
Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA!): Sarah Moss (UMich) “How to Be a Clever Contextualist”

The natural readings of these sentences can be generated by contextualist theories, but not by competing interest-relative theories of knowledge. In addition, I argue that the contextualist can explain…
