Expressivism Concerning Epistemic Modals
In this paper, a new argument for an expressivist account of epistemic modals is developed. The argument starts from a puzzle about epistemic modals that Seth Yalcin recently presented.

Furthermore, two alleged problems for expressivism are addressed: fir...
متن کاملA problem for expressivism

In this paper, it is argued that there are good historical and phil...
