FACETS OF INTENSIONALITY
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to introduce the reader distinction between intensional and extensional as a different approaches meaning. We will argue that despite common belief, aspects mathematical notions can be, in fact have been successfully described mathematics. One for us particularly interesting notion deduction depicted general proof theory. Our considerations result defending a) importance rule-based semantical approach b) position according which non-reductive somewhat circular explanations play an essential role describing intensionality

Intensionality of Adjectives
Given the two sentences “this fake cat has a fluffy tail” and “this tabby cat has a fluffy tail”, only the second allows one to conclude that “there exists a cat that has a fluffy tail”. As is obvious to a native English speaker, the adjective (A) “fake” somehow modifies the noun (N) “cat” such that we conclude that it no longer belongs to the set of N (cats) by virtue of being A (fake). Lingui...
متن کاملIntensionality in Mathematics
Do mathematical expressions have intensions, or merely extensions? If we accept the standard account of intensions based on possible worlds, it would seem that the latter is the case – there is no room for nontrivial intensions in the case of non-empirical expressions. However, some vexing mathematical problems, notably Gödel’s Second Incompleteness Theorem, seem to presuppose an intensional co...
متن کاملIntensionality and context change
It is arguably desirable to have a theory of meaning that (i) does not identify propositions with sets of worlds, (ii) enables to capture the dynamic character of semantic interpretation and (iii) provides the basis for a semantic program that incorporates and extends the achievements of Montague semantics. A theory of properties and propositions that meets these desiderata is developed and sev...
متن کاملOn the Semantics of Intensionality
In this paper we propose a categorical theory of intensionality. We first revisit the notion of intensionality, and discuss we its relevance to logic and computer science. It turns out that 1-category theory is not the most appropriate vehicle for studying the interplay of extension and intension. We are thus led to consider the P-categories of Čubrić, Dybjer and Scott, which are categories onl...
متن کاملInferential Intensionality
The paper is a study of properties of quasi-consequence operation which is a key notion of the so-called inferential approach in the theory of sentential calculi established in [5].The principal motivation behind the quasi-consequence, q-consequence for short, stems from the mathematical practice which treats some auxiliary assumptions as mere hypotheses rather than axioms and their further occ...
