タイトル:Quantified Logic for Modal Reasoning and Theorizing
要旨:
Logicians and metaphysicians have developed various models and semantics
of quantified modal logic.  These semantics come with ontological and
metaphysical implications regarding the references of singular terms ---
such as the necessity of Hesperus being Phosphorus.  My primary question
in this talk is how these metaphysical facts can be a posteriori facts,
as opposed to a matter of logic, of the sort that a cognizer can come to
know.  The goal of this talk is to give a semantics that sheds new light
on this aposteriority.  I will take an approach in terms of intensional
logic that treats all singular terms, predicates, and quantifiers as
uniformly intensional.  Combined with epistemic logic, my approach will
provide a semantics and logic in which metaphysical principles regarding
cross-world reference are substantial facts that a cognizer can both
learn and use in their modal reasoning and theorizing.
