M.J. Cresswell on Deceptions - Dictionary of Arguments
II 132f Optical Illusion/M.C. Escher/Cresswell: problem: if a deception contains an apparent contradiction, there is no set of possible worlds, in which it would be implemented. Solution: Cut the image apart. Escher: Problem: to give a semantics for the sentence: In the picture there is at least one monk moving up and at the same time one moving downward. Wrong: "at least one monk up and at least a monk down ...". Cresswell: there will be sets of worlds in which everyone goes up and some in which everyone goes down. - That seems correct. >Possible worlds, >Propositions/Cresswell._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
