Θέμα: The Multiplicity of Meaning

Abstract: In this talk I will defend the view that almost invariably, when
one asserts something, one simultaneously asserts enormously many very
similar things. More generally, a wide range of familiar "intentional"
relations - including asserting, meaning, believing, knowing, expressing,
and referring to - work in a similarly pluralistic way: almost always,
anything that stands in one of these relations to an item of the
appropriate sort stands in the same relation to enormously many items very
similar to that one.  I will argue for this thesis by sketching how the
pluralist view solves several otherwise intractable problems, including
the Liar Paradox, as well as some less familiar puzzles about variation of
meaning across nearby possible worlds.
