13499 | Tarski reduced truth to reference or denotation [Field,H, by Hart,WD] |
10818 | Tarski really explained truth in terms of denoting, predicating and satisfied functions [Field,H] |

10757 | Henkin semantics has a second domain of predicates and relations (in upper case) [Rossberg] |
10751 | Second-order logic needs the sets, and its consequence has epistemological problems [Rossberg] |
10759 | There are at least seven possible systems of semantics for second-order logic [Rossberg] |
10753 | Logical consequence is intuitively semantic, and captured by model theory [Rossberg] |
10752 | Γ |- S says S can be deduced from Γ; Γ |= S says a good model for Γ makes S true [Rossberg] |
10754 | In proof-theory, logical form is shown by the logical constants [Rossberg] |
10819 | Tarski gives us the account of truth needed to build a group of true sentences in a model [Field,H] |
10827 | Model theory is unusual in restricting the range of the quantifiers [Field,H] |
10756 | A model is a domain, and an interpretation assigning objects, predicates, relations etc. [Rossberg] |
10758 | If models of a mathematical theory are all isomorphic, it is 'categorical', with essentially one model [Rossberg] |
10761 | Completeness can always be achieved by cunning model-design [Rossberg] |
10755 | A deductive system is only incomplete with respect to a formal semantics [Rossberg] |
3519 | Man uses his body, so must be separate from it [Anon (Plat), by Maslin] |
10826 | 'Valence' and 'gene' had to be reduced to show their compatibility with physicalism [Field,H] |
