Todd and Rabern have argued that assuming future contingents are untrue, together with accepting the principle of retrogradation truth (p→PF(p)), implies it is metaphysically impossible an omniscient entity exists. Since possibility being a metaphyisical theological thesis should not depend on assumed temporal semantics, conclude that, if one wishes to maintain untruth contingents, must reject truth. This paper aims show Rabern’s argument fails. We present semantics in which valid, potential...

The common account of the analog vs digital distinction is based on features physical systems, being related to usage continuous discrete supports respectively. It proposed here alternatively characterize concepts and as coding which a formal definition given, by suggesting that refers strategy adopted define function: extensional in isomorphic intensional systems. This thesis supported examples, particular systems exploiting supports, discussed explain why currently so widespread...

In this paper we will give a critical account of Plantinga’s well-known argument to the effect that existence an omnipotent and morally perfect God is consistent with actual presence evil. After presenting view, critically discuss both idea divine knowledge conditionals freedom concept transworld depravity. Then, sketch our own version Free-Will Defence, which maintains moral evil depends on misuse human freedom. However, does not hinge problematic metaphysical assumptions, but only certain...

According to some scholars, universalist semantics of the future are incompatible with classical ascriptions probability. This alleged fact is used as an argument for linearist future. In this paper, we show that, on contrary, in harmony theory probability, while advocates have pay high theoretical costs maintain coherence

In this paper, two parallel longitudinal corpora of interlingua are presented: the CORpus del ESPañol de los Italianos (CORESPI, 474 texts, 124 648 words) and Italiano Españoles (CORITE, 385 103 147 words). The texts have been produced by 45 couples Spanish Italian as foreign language learners (A1- B2). manner in which collected, tagged put on Internet using tool CATMA illustrated. potentialities briefly surveyed. usefulness kind for linguistic analysis teaching theory is emphasized.

Fragmentalism allows incompatible facts to constitute reality in an absolute manner, provided that they fail obtain together. In recent years, the view has been extensively discussed, with a focus on its formalisation model-theoretic terms. This paper focuses three formalisations: Lipman's approach, subvaluationist interpretation, and novel so far overlooked. The aim of is explore application these formalisations alethic modal case. logical exploration will allow us study (i) cases...

ABSTRACT In this paper, I distinguish two possible families of semantics the open future: Linearism, according to which future tense sentences are evaluated with respect a unique history, and Universalism, universally quantifying on histories passing through moment evaluation. An argument in favour Linearism is based fact does not exhibit scope interactions negation. Todd (2020, 2021) defends Universalism against proposing an error theory, speakers engaged non‐philosophical conversations...

The concept of soft facts is crucial for the Ockhamistic analysis divine knowledge future contingents; moreover, this notion important in itself because it concerns structure that depend—in some sense—on other facts. However, debate on often flawed by unaware use two different notions first kind are supervenient temporal facts: By bringing about a fact, agent can bring these one hand, determination existence does not affect past; assimilating into help Ockhamist. authors will argue that, to...
