商品描述
This volume develops a theory of meaning and a semantics for both mathematical and empirical sentences inspired to Chomsky's internalism, namely to a view of semantics as the study of the relations of language not with external reality but with internal, or mental, reality. In the first part a theoretical notion of justification for a sentence A is defined, by induction on the complexity of A; intuitively, justifications are conceived as cognitive states of a particular kind. The main source of inspiration for this part is Heyting's explanation of the intuitionistic meaning of logical constants.
In the second part the theory is applied to the solution of several foundational problems in the theory of meaning and epistemology, such as Frege's puzzle, Mates' puzzle about synonymy, the paradox of analysis, Kripke's puzzle about belief, the de re/de dicto distinction, the specific/non-specific distinction, Gettier's problems, the paradox of knowability, and the characterization oftruth. On a more general philosophical level, throughout the book the author develops a tight critique of the neo-verificationism of Dummett, Prawitz and Martin-Löf, and defends a mentalist interpretation of intuitionism.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本卷發展了一種意義理論和語義學,針對數學和經驗句子,靈感來自喬姆斯基的內部主義,即將語義學視為研究語言與內部或心理現實之間關係的學科,而非與外部現實的關係。在第一部分中,通過對句子 A 的複雜性進行歸納,定義了一種理論上的正當性概念;直觀上,正當性被視為一種特定類型的認知狀態。本部分的主要靈感來源是海廷(Heyting)對直覺主義邏輯常數意義的解釋。
在第二部分,該理論應用於解決語義理論和認識論中的幾個基礎問題,例如弗雷格的謎題、梅特斯(Mates)關於同義詞的謎題、分析悖論、克里普基(Kripke)關於信念的謎題、de re/de dicto 區分、特定/非特定區分、蓋提爾(Gettier)問題、可知性悖論以及真理的特徵描述。在更一般的哲學層面上,整本書中,作者對達美特(Dummett)、普拉維茨(Prawitz)和馬丁-洛夫(Martin-Löf)的新驗證主義進行了嚴密的批評,並捍衛直覺主義的心理主義解釋。
