A priori and a posteriori

A priori ('from the earlier') and a posteriori ('from the later') are Latin phrases used in philosophy to distinguish types of knowledge, justification, or argument by their reliance on experience.

See Two-dimensionalism and A priori and a posteriori

Analytic philosophy

Analytic philosophy is a broad, contemporary movement or tradition within Western philosophy and especially anglophone philosophy, focused on analysis.

See Two-dimensionalism and Analytic philosophy

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and public intellectual.

See Two-dimensionalism and Bertrand Russell

Cartesian materialism

In philosophy of mind, Cartesian materialism is the idea that at some place (or places) in the brain, there is some set of information that directly corresponds to our conscious experience.

See Two-dimensionalism and Cartesian materialism

Consciousness

Consciousness, at its simplest, is awareness of internal and external existence.

See Two-dimensionalism and Consciousness

Contingency (philosophy)

In logic, contingency is the feature of a statement making it neither necessary nor impossible.

See Two-dimensionalism and Contingency (philosophy)

David Chalmers

David John Chalmers is an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in the areas of the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.

See Two-dimensionalism and David Chalmers

David Kaplan (philosopher)

David Benjamin Kaplan (born September 17, 1933) is an American philosopher.

See Two-dimensionalism and David Kaplan (philosopher)

Descriptivist theory of names

In the philosophy of language, the descriptivist theory of proper names (also descriptivist theory of reference) is the view that the meaning or semantic content of a proper name is identical to the descriptions associated with it by speakers, while their referents are determined to be the objects that satisfy these descriptions. Two-dimensionalism and descriptivist theory of names are semantics and theories of language.

See Two-dimensionalism and Descriptivist theory of names

Empirical evidence

Empirical evidence for a proposition is evidence, i.e. what supports or counters this proposition, that is constituted by or accessible to sense experience or experimental procedure.

See Two-dimensionalism and Empirical evidence

Epistemology

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge.

See Two-dimensionalism and Epistemology

Gottlob Frege

Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (8 November 1848 – 26 July 1925) was a German philosopher, logician, and mathematician.

See Two-dimensionalism and Gottlob Frege

Intension

In any of several fields of study that treat the use of signs—for example, in linguistics, logic, mathematics, semantics, semiotics, and philosophy of language—an intension is any property or quality connoted by a word, phrase, or another symbol. Two-dimensionalism and intension are semantics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Intension

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) is a scholarly online encyclopedia with 880 articles about philosophy, philosophers, and related topics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Logical truth

Logical truth is one of the most fundamental concepts in logic.

See Two-dimensionalism and Logical truth

Meaning (philosophy)

In philosophymore specifically, in its sub-fields semantics, semiotics, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and metasemanticsmeaning "is a relationship between two sorts of things: signs and the kinds of things they intend, express, or signify". Two-dimensionalism and Meaning (philosophy) are semantics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Meaning (philosophy)

Modal logic is a kind of logic used to represent statements about necessity and possibility. Two-dimensionalism and Modal logic are semantics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Modal logic

Neutral monism

Neutral monism is an umbrella term for a class of metaphysical theories in the philosophy of mind, concerning the relation of mind to matter.

See Two-dimensionalism and Neutral monism

Philosophical zombie

A philosophical zombie (or "p-zombie") is a being in a thought experiment in the philosophy of mind that is physically identical to a normal human being but does not have conscious experience.

See Two-dimensionalism and Philosophical zombie

Possible world

A possible world is a complete and consistent way the world is or could have been. Two-dimensionalism and possible world are Modal logic, Modal metaphysics and semantics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Possible world

Proposition

A proposition is a central concept in the philosophy of language, semantics, logic, and related fields, often characterized as the primary bearer of truth or falsity. Two-dimensionalism and proposition are semantics.

See Two-dimensionalism and Proposition

Relation (philosophy)

Relations are ways in which several entities stand to each other.

See Two-dimensionalism and Relation (philosophy)

Robert Stalnaker

Robert Culp Stalnaker (born 1940) is an American philosopher who is Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Saul Kripke

Saul Aaron Kripke (November 13, 1940 – September 15, 2022) was an American analytic philosopher and logician.

Scott Soames

Scott Soames (born 1945) is an American philosopher.

Semantics

Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning.

See Two-dimensionalism and Semantics

Sense and reference

In the philosophy of language, the distinction between sense and reference was an idea of the German philosopher and mathematician Gottlob Frege in 1892 (in his paper "On Sense and Reference"; German: "Über Sinn und Bedeutung"), reflecting the two ways he believed a singular term may have meaning.

See Two-dimensionalism and Sense and reference

Sentence (linguistics)

In linguistics and grammar, a sentence is a linguistic expression, such as the English example "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." In traditional grammar, it is typically defined as a string of words that expresses a complete thought, or as a unit consisting of a subject and predicate.

See Two-dimensionalism and Sentence (linguistics)

Truth

Truth or verity is the property of being in accord with fact or reality.

See Two-dimensionalism and Truth

Truth value

In logic and mathematics, a truth value, sometimes called a logical value, is a value indicating the relation of a proposition to truth, which in classical logic has only two possible values (true or false).

See Two-dimensionalism and Truth value

Word

A word is a basic element of language that carries meaning, can be used on its own, and is uninterruptible.

See Two-dimensionalism and Word
