b. gohla's hierarchy is about the way that such ideas get developed. The
only major objection might be that "if p then q" usually means something like "q is true in all (or most or the uppermost or some such thing) worlds in which p is true" Again, I think that all of this superstructure is misguided -- at least until it can be shown that we really need it. I think tha simply considering what we *do* with language is kore natural and effective than creating new things for descriptive langauge to be *about*. |
