14711 | Rationalists say knowing an expression is identifying its extension using an internal cognitive state [Schroeter] |
8245 | The logical attitude tries to turn concepts into functions, when they are really forms or forces [Deleuze/Guattari] |
14717 | Internalist meaning is about understanding; externalist meaning is about embedding in a situation [Schroeter] |
14720 | Semantic theory assigns meanings to expressions, and metasemantics explains how this works [Schroeter] |

14698 | Possible worlds semantics uses 'intensions' - functions which assign extensions at each world [Schroeter] |

14716 | 2D semantics can't respond to contingent apriori claims, since there is no single proposition involved [Schroeter] |

13470 | Mass is central to matter [Newton, by Hart,WD] |
17020 | An attraction of a body is the sum of the forces of their particles [Newton] |
23012 | Newtonian causation is changes of motion resulting from collisions [Newton, by Baron/Miller] |
