13040 | Constructibility: V = L (all sets are constructible) [Kunen] |
18852 | A Meinongian principle might say that there is an object for any modest class of properties [Rosen] |
18849 | Metaphysical necessity is absolute and universal; metaphysical possibility is very tolerant [Rosen] |
18850 | 'Metaphysical' modality is the one that makes the necessity or contingency of laws of nature interesting [Rosen] |
18858 | Sets, universals and aggregates may be metaphysically necessary in one sense, but not another [Rosen] |
18857 | Standard Metaphysical Necessity: P holds wherever the actual form of the world holds [Rosen] |
18856 | Non-Standard Metaphysical Necessity: when ¬P is incompatible with the nature of things [Rosen] |
18848 | Something may be necessary because of logic, but is that therefore a special sort of necessity? [Rosen] |
18855 | Combinatorial theories of possibility assume the principles of combination don't change across worlds [Rosen] |
18853 | A proposition is 'correctly' conceivable if an ominiscient being could conceive it [Rosen] |
18969 | How do you distinguish three beliefs from four beliefs or two beliefs? [Quine] |
18967 | A 'proposition' is said to be the timeless cognitive part of the meaning of a sentence [Quine] |
18968 | The problem with propositions is their individuation. When do two sentences express one proposition? [Quine] |
18854 | The MRL view says laws are the theorems of the simplest and strongest account of the world [Rosen] |
18970 | The concept of a 'point' makes no sense without the idea of absolute position [Quine] |
