The third will examine one rather sophisticated attempt to accommodate Adams s Thesis within a modified possible-worlds framework, one which treats … [Possible world semantics] carries a commitment to the reality of possible worlds and possible individuals.1 [Kripke-style semantics] includes a function which maps each member of a set of possible worlds to the set of objects existing in that world, objects which need not exist in our world.

worlds. I will say that a possible-worlds framework is conventional just in case it specifies possible worlds exclusively in terms of nonmodal goings-on of that world and certain others.

Today sacriﬁcing Today sacrificing possible-worlds semantics for the predicate conception of necessity etc. would mean sacrificing a huge body of philosophical logic and of analytic metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and computer science.Nevertheless the operator approach suffers from a severe drawback: it restricts the expressive power of the language in a dramatic way because it rules out quantification in the following … POSSIBLE-WORLDS SEMANTICS, FICTION, AND CREATIVITY Arto Mutanen The Finnish Naval Academy Helsinki, Finland arto.mutanen@gmail.com Received: 14 December 2013 In the paper we will study the notions of possible-worlds semantics, fiction, and creativity. The … This article traces the development of possible worlds semantics through the work of: Wittgenstein, 1913–1921; Feys, 1924; McKinsey, 1945; Carnap, 1945–1947 Chapter 3.

So, for Possible world semantics, of course, uses the concept of a possible world to give substance to the idea of alternative extensions and alternative domains of quantification. (Possible world semantics can be traced most clearly back to the work of Carnap (1947), its basic development culminating in the work of Hintikka (1957, 1961), Bayart (1958, 1959), and Kripke (1959, 1963a, 1963b). [ 5 ] ) Possible worlds semantics (PWS) is a family of ideas and methods that have been used to analyse concepts of philosophical interest.

Both the standard analysis and Kratzer's are conventional frameworks. This is what is called “possible world semantics”. Here possible worlds aren’t postulated as actually existing, but are hypothetical entities allowing us to ascertain which meaning statements are analytic (derivable by purely conceptual analysis of the subject term) and which are synthetic (not derivable by such an analysis but provided This article traces the development of possible worlds semantics through the work of: Wittgenstein, 1913–1921; Feys, 1924; McKinsey, 1945; Carnap, 1945–1947 Asher and Kamp [2] and Gupta and Belnap [5, chapter 6] have already refuted this view by providing possible-worlds semantics for modal predicate languages in certain special cases.

Kripkean semantics, at least construed as an applied semantics, poses a number of problems for the actualist realist, since it seems to entail the existence of merely possible individuals. Abstract. A paradoxical situation has taken place of late in discussion of the philosophical problems of quantified modal logic. On the one hand, the works by S. Kripke, J. Hintikka, and S. Kanger 1 have shown the possibility of constructing a satisfactory semantics for modal systems, the so-called possible worlds semantics.

Ever since possible-worlds semantics has reigned as the main tool in the analysis of necessity and the notions mentioned above. Today sacriﬁcing Possible worlds semantics is a general approach to theories of meaning, on which meanings (or, more precisely, semantic values) are assigned to sentences in terms of the truth-values they take across all possible worlds. The intuition is that the meaning of a sentence specifies how the world would have to be for that sentence to be true (or false). Possible worlds semantics Paul Gochet Table of contents.
