4. 3. A Model-Theoretic Proof of Gödel's Theorem : Kripke's Notion of Fulfilment

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Matematiska institutionen

   Author : Mattias Granberg Olsson; [2017]
   Keywords : Fulfilment; Gödel s Theorem; Incompleteness;

   Abstract : The notion of fulfilment of a formula by a sequence of numbers, an approximation of truth due to Kripke, is presented and subsequently formalised in the weak arithmetic theory IΣ1, in some detail. After a number of technical results connecting the formalised notion to the meta-theoretical one a version of Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem, that no consistent, recursively axiomatisable, Σ2-sound extension T of Peano arithmetic is complete, is shown by construction of a true Π2-sentence and a model of T where it is false, yielding its independence from T.

5. 4. Proper Names: a Verbal Dispute : An investigation of the concept of reference

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier

   Author : Luca Dal Cero; [2014]

   Abstract : The present paper sets out to investigate whether the contrast between Description theories of reference and Direct Reference theories constitutes what Chalmers calls “a broad verbal dispute” on the concept of reference.      I begin by describing Chalmers’ “method of elimination” concerning verbal disputes, according to which, in order to find out whether a dispute is verbal or whether it expresses a substantial disagreement on matters of fact, the key concept involved is barred and substituted by two new concepts defined according to the frameworks of the respective theories.

   Abstract : This essay investigates Haukioja's (2010) notion of actuality-dependence. This notion is an attempt to explain the rigid behaviour of some kind terms; in particular natural kind terms like “water” and “tiger”. A definition of rigidity for kind terms has to take in account speakers' semantic intentions. READ MORE
