General information in relevant logic

This paper sets out a philosophical interpretation of the model theory in Mares and Goldblatt “An Alternative Semantics for Quanti…ed Relevant Logic” (The Journal of Symbolic Logic 71 (2006)). This interpretation distinguishes between truth conditions and information conditions. Whereas the usual Tarskian truth condition holds for universally quanti…ed statements, their information condition is quite di¤erent. The information condition utilizes general propositions. The present paper gives a philosophical explanation of general propositions and argues that these are needed to give an adequate theory of general information.
