THE SEMANTIC FOUNDATIONS OF PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract I provide an analysis of sentences the form ‘To be F is to G ’ in terms exact truth-maker semantics—an approach that identifies meanings with states world directly responsible for their truth-values. Roughly, argue these hold just case which makes something also it . This hyperintensional and possesses desirable logical modal features. In particular, are reflexive, transitive, symmetric, if they true, then necessarily necessary all only s s. motivate my account over Correia Skiles’ [11] prominent alternative close by defining irreflexive asymmetric notion symmetric reflexive notion.
