Contribucions a la teoria de models de la lògica sense identitat
La tesis doctoral es un estudio de la teoria de modelos de la lógica sin identidad. Se estudia el fragmento de la lógica de primer orden compuesto por las fórmulas que no tienen el símbolo de identidad. Los conceptos ...
Auto-conocimiento, memoria y racionalidad (Estudio de tres argumentos anti-externistas)
En las últimas tres o cuatro décadas ha logrado gran aceptación cierta teoría sobre la naturaleza de nuestros conceptos y representaciones mentales, conocida como Externismo Semántico, la cual sostiene que qué conceptos ...
In Defense of Implicit Times
The present dissertation explores the hypothesis that English is a language with time-shifting grammatical devices. According to this hypothesis, the linguistic objects of English grammar which serve as the inputs to ...
Context and compositionality: an essay in metasemantics
The general aim of this dissertation is to analyze two intersecting topics. One is what constraints the principle(s) of compositionality place on semantic theories, and the second is whether context-sensitivity endangers ...
A few things about hyperimaginaries and stable forking
The core of this PhD dissertation is basically twofold : On one hand, I get some new results on the relationship between compact groups and bounded hyperimaginaries, extending a little bit the classical results of Lascar ...
Investigations into the role of translations in abstract algebraic logic
This memoir is divided into two parts, devoted to two topics in (ab-stract) algebraic logic. In the first part we develop a hierarchy in which propositional logics “L” are classified according to the definability conditions ...
Composites
The four main chapters in this dissertation, while each largely self-standing, can be seen as together providing an extended defence of the view that classical mereology is analytically true. In chapter 1, I criticise Eli ...
Operators and strong versions of sentential logics in Abstract Algebraic Logic
This dissertation presents the results of our research on some recent devel-opments in Abstract Algebraic Logic (AAL), namely on the Suszko operator, the Leibniz filters, and truth-equational logics. Part I builts and ...
Análisis lógico-comparativo de las formulaciones de la termodinámica
1. OBJETIVO PRINCIPAL Sean las termodinámicas fundamentales de la vertebración histórica de los conceptos específicamente termodinámicos, es decir, la termodinámica de lo que aquí se denomina 2ª etapa de Clausius, la ...
La Lógica de Gottlob Frege: 1879 – 1903
Ofrecemos en esta tesis doctoral una reconstrucción global y detallada de la lógica desarrollada por Gottlob Frege a lo largo de su carrera. A pesar de que esta lógica fue objeto de profundas modificaciones desde su ...
Topological dualities and completions for (distributive) partially ordered sets
This PhD thesis is the result of our research on duality theory and completions for partially ordered sets. A first main aim of this dissertation is to propose different kind of topological dualities for some classes of ...
The World As I Found It. A Subjectivist Metaphysics of the Mental
The first part of this thesis articulates and defends the Subjectivist View of the Mental. According to this view, my mental states are essentially different from the mental states of everyone else, but the fact that they ...
The Literal Meaning of Definite Descriptions
This thesis focuses on the semantics of definite descriptions (DDs). In chapter 1 I introduce a framework for doing compositional semantics for natural language that follows Heim and Kratzer (1998) and Fintel and Heim ...
Apriority and Colour Inclusion
My central aim in this dissertation is to propose a new version of local scepticism regarding the a priori, namely, a version of scepticism regarding the apriority of (knowledge of) truths about certain relations between ...
Logical planning in Temporal Defeasible and Dynamic Epistemic Logics: the case of t-DeLP and LCC
In this thesis, we study planning systems based on logics, for two particular cases: Temporal Defeasible Logic Programming t-DeLP and the Logics of Communication and Change LCC. A planning problem consists in building a ...
Duality Theory and Abstract Algebraic Logic
In this thesis we present the results of our research on duality theory for non-classical logics under the point of view of Abstract Algebraic Logic (AAL). Firstly, we propose an abstract Spectral-like duality and an ...
Forcing Arguments in Infinite RamseyTheory
This is a contribution to combinatorial set theory, specifically to infinite Ramsey Theory, which deals with partitions of infinite sets. The basic pigeon hole principle states that for every partition of the set of all ...
La determinación de la referencia de los términos para artefactos
La tesis trata de un aspecto semántico de los términos para artefactos: la determinación de su referencia. Para abordar esta cuestión, exploro la sugerencia putnamiana según la cual la referencia de los términos de clase ...
Cognitive Phenomenology: A Non-Reductive Account
The aim of this dissertation is to provide a non-reductive account of cognitive phenomenology and the experience of thinking. The nature of conscious thought is an issue that has occupied philosophers since ancient times, ...
Large cardinals and resurrection axioms
In the current dissertation we work in set theory and we study both various large cardinal hierarchies and issues related to forcing axioms and generic absoluteness. The necessary preliminaries may be found, as it should ...
