Logic Cresswell I 40
Logic/natural language/semantics/Cresswell: not every logic can be taken as the basis of semantics: difference Entailment/Consequence: in the natural language, "Monday follows Sunday" must not be taken as a consequence of "Snow is white" - (only formal, not correct content-wise). >Everyday language, >Material conditional, >Consequence.
I 42
Logic/Semantics/entailment/meaning postulates/Cresswell: E.g. meaning postulate: (x) (x is bachelor > x is male). - Then the conclusion of "roses are red" and "violets are blue" on roses and violets ..and snow is white" becomes valid. ((Vs). >Meaning postulates.
CresswellVsMeaning postulates: false alignment of entailment and consequence. Snow is not white in all possible worlds.
>Entailment.
Solution: possible world semantics.
>Possible world semantics
Difference between necessary and contingent truths.
>Necessity, >Contingency.
Quine/Cresswell : This seems to reject analytically/synthetically the distinction together with the distinction.
>Analyticity/syntheticity/Quine, >Necessity/Quine.

Meaning Postulate Chisholm Vs Meaning Postulate III 85
Synthetically a priori/Chisholm: examples for this may be: "everything that is red, is colored". One knows it a priori, but cannot demonstrate that it is analytic. Meaning postulates/Solution: some authors: alleged synthetic sentences a priori are in reality important postulates. ChisholmVsMeaning postulates: (in this context): this is a confusion between mentioning and use. A meaning postulate would e.g. mention the word "red". But the sentence above uses the words, it does not mention it. ((s) therefore it cannot be a meaning postulate itself).
