13960 | In two-dimensional semantics we have two aspects to truth in virtue of meaning [Chalmers] |
Full Idea: Both the 'primary' and 'secondary' intension qualify as truths in virtue of meaning; they are simply true in virtue of different aspects of meaning. | |
From: David J.Chalmers (The Conscious Mind [1996], 1.2.4) | |
A reaction: This is the view of two-dimensional semantics, which has split Fregean sense into an a priori and an a posterior part. Chalmers is trying to hang onto the idea that we might see necessity as largely analytic. |
