Meaning and Necessity - A Study in Semantics and Modal Logic

Évaluation du livre

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on a novel approach to semantic analysis, the book introduces the method of extension and intension, which redefines how linguistic expressions are understood. By modifying traditional concepts of class and property, this method contrasts with conventional philosophical approaches that treat expressions as names for entities. Instead, it emphasizes the intrinsic qualities of expressions, viewing them as having both intension and extension rather than merely naming objects. This fresh perspective aims to deepen the understanding of meaning in language.
