Meaning Holism and De Re Ascription
Canadian Journal of Philosophy 38 (4):575-599 (2008)
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 expressionsAuthor's Profile
