Meaning Holism and De Re Ascription
Canadian Journal of Philosophy 38 (4):575-599 (2009)
| Abstract | According to inferential role semantics (IRS), for an expression to have a particular meaning or express a certain concept is for subjects to be disposed to make, or to treat as proper, certain inferential transitions involving that expression.1 Such a theory of meaning is holistic, since according to it the meaning or concept any given expression possesses or expresses depends on the inferential relations it stands in to other expressions | |||||||||
