Intensionality and Forcing: A New Model-Theoretic Synthesis

Imagine trying to explain what a belief or the meaning of a sentence really is. We use them constantly—when we say “I think it will rain” or when we understand a joke—but they are surprisingly hard for science to pin down. Even simple ideas can fool our theories. Two sentences might always be tru...
