This volume covers a wide range of topics that fall under the
'philosophy of quantifiers', a philosophy that spans across
multiple areas such as logic, metaphysics, epistemology and even
the history of philosophy. It discusses the import of quantifier
variance in the model theory of mathematics. It advances an
argument for the uniqueness of quantifier meaning in terms of Evert
Beth's notion of implicit definition and clarifies the oldest
explicit formulation of quantifier variance: the one proposed by
Rudolf Carnap. The volume further examines what it means that a
quantifier can have multiple meanings and addresses how existential
vagueness can induce vagueness in our modal notions. Finally, the
book explores the role played by quantifiers with respect to
various kinds of semantic paradoxes, the logicality issue,
ontological commitment, and the behavior of quantifiers in
intensional contexts.
