According to two-dimensional semantics, the meaning of an
expression involves two different "dimensions": one dimension
involves reference and truth-conditions of a familiar sort, while
the other dimension involves the way that reference and
truth-conditions depend on the external world (for example,
reference and truth-conditions might be held to depend on which
individuals and substances are present in the world, or on which
linguistic conventions are in place). A number of different
two-dimensional frameworks have been developed, and these have been
applied to a number of fundamental problems in philosophy: the
nature of communication, the relation between the necessary and the
a priori, the role of context in assertion, Frege's distinction
between sense and reference, the contents of thought, and the
mind-body problem. Manuel Garcia-Carpintero and Josep Macia present
a selection of new essays by an outstanding international team,
shedding fresh light both on foundational issues regarding
two-dimensional semantics and on its specific applications. The
volume will be the starting-point for future work on this approach
to issues in philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.
