Safety, the Preface Paradox and Possible Worlds Semantics
Axiomathes 29 (4):347-361 (2019)
Abstract
This paper contains an argument to the effect that possible worlds semantics renders
semantic knowledge impossible, no matter what ontological interpretation is given
to possible worlds. The essential contention made is that possible worlds semantic
knowledge is unsafe and this is shown by a parallel with the preface paradox.
