Predicate Change
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 49 - Trang 1159-1183 - 2020
Like belief revision, conceptual change has rational aspects. The paper discusses this for predicate change. We determine the meaning of predicates by a set of imaginable instances, i.e., conceptually consistent entities that fall under the predicate. Predicate change is then an alteration of which possible entities are instances of a concept. The recent exclusion of Pluto from the category of pla......

Proofs, Grounds and Empty Functions: Epistemic Compulsion in Prawitz’s Semantics
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 51 - Trang 249-281 - 2021
Prawitz has recently developed a theory of epistemic grounding that differs in many respects from his earlier semantics of arguments and proofs. An innovative approach to (valid) inferences yields a new conception of the intertwinement of the notions of valid inference and proof. We aim at singling out three reasons that may have led Prawitz to the ground-theoretic turn, i.e.: a better order in th......
The foundations of probability and quantum mechanics
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 129-168 - 1993
Taking as starting point two familiar interpretations of probability, we develop these in a perhaps unfamiliar way to arrive ultimately at an improbable claim concerning the proper axiomatization of probability theory: the domain of definition of a point-valued probability distribution is an orthomodular partially ordered set. Similar claims have been made in the light of quantum mechanics but her......
A Defense of Temperate Epistemic Transparency
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 923-955 - 2012
Epistemic transparency tells us that, if an agent S knows a given proposition p, then S knows that she knows that p. This idea is usually encoded in the so-called KK principle of epistemic logic. The paper develops an argument in favor of a moderate version of KK, which I dub quasi-transparency, as a normative rather than a descriptive principle. In the second Section I put forward the suggestion ......
