John Mair on Semantic Paradoxes: Alethic Modalities and Validity in Paradoxical Contexts
Original language description
Conceptual analysis of logical consequence can be regarded as a crucial part of any logical theory. The present paper focuses on John Mair?s approach to this issue from both historical and systematic point of view. Mair?s task is to analyse the conceptsof modality and validity in universal token-based languages with non-compositional semantics based on network evaluation. To fulfil it, Mair addresses modal paradoxes, validity paradoxes and inferences with paradoxical components. Both truth and modalityand truth and validity,when conceived as semantic properties, turn out to be mutually independent as a result of Mair?s semantics: there are true impossible propositions and possible propositions which cannot be true and truth-pr eservation turns out tobe neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition for validity.
