Abstract

Towards NonBeing (Priest, 2005) gives a noneist account of the semantics of intentional operators and predicates. The semantics for intentional operators are modelled on those for the □ in normal modal logics. In this paper an alternative semantics, modelled on neighborhood semantics for □, is given and assessed.
