10751 | Second-order logic needs the sets, and its consequence has epistemological problems [Rossberg] |
10757 | Henkin semantics has a second domain of predicates and relations (in upper case) [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] |
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] |
13745 | Supervenience is not a dependence relation, on the lines of causal, mereological or semantic dependence [Kim] |
13746 | Supervenience is just a 'surface' relation of pattern covariation, which still needs deeper explanation [Kim] |
14979 | Being alone doesn't guarantee intrinsic properties; 'being alone' is itself extrinsic [Lewis, by Sider] |
15454 | Extrinsic properties come in degrees, with 'brother' less extrinsic than 'sibling' [Lewis] |
15455 | Total intrinsic properties give us what a thing is [Lewis] |
