23A fixed-point problem for theories of meaningSynthese 200 (1): 1-15. 2022.In this paper I argue that it’s impossible for there to be a single universal theory of meaning for a language. First, I will consider some minimal expressiveness requirements a language must meet to be able to express semantic claims. Then I will argue that in order to have a single unified theory of meaning, these expressiveness requirements must be satisfied by a language which the semantic theory itself applies to. That is, we would need a language which can express its own meaning. It has b…Read more

38From Epistemic Norms to Logical Rules: Epistemic Models for Logical ExpressivistsJournal of Philosophical Logic 52 (6): 1517-1533. 2023.In this paper I construct a system of semantics for classical and intuitionistic propositional logic based on epistemic norms governing belief expansion. Working in the AGM-framework of belief change, I give a generalisation of Gärdenfors’ notion of belief systems which can be defined without reference to a logical consequence operator by using a version of the Ramsey Test. These belief expansion systems can then be used to define epistemic models which are sound and complete for either classica…Read more
