5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 1. Semantics of Logic
Situation semantics for logics: not possible worlds, but information in situations [Mares]
     Full Idea: Situation semantics for logics consider not what is true in worlds, but what information is contained in situations.
     From: Edwin D. Mares (Negation [2014], 6.2)
     A reaction: Since many theoretical physicists seem to think that 'information' might be the most basic concept of a natural ontology, this proposal is obviously rather appealing. Barwise and Perry are the authors of the theory.
