Two-dimensional semantics is a framework that helps us better understand some of the most fundamental issues in philosophy. The truth of a statement depends on the world in two ways: what the statement says is true if the world is as the statement says it is; on the other hand, what the expressions in the statement mean depends on what the world is like (for instance, on what conventions are in place). Each of these two kinds of dependence of truth on the world corresponds to one of the dimensions on the two-dimensional semantic framework. This framework helps us to clarify the relation between these two kinds of dependence, and in so doing it also helps to sharpen our understanding of the relationship between our knowledge of meaning and the denotation of the expressions that we use.
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.
