Two-Dimensional Semantics

Shawn November 03, 2018 at 02:02 1475 views 3 comments
This is a topic I've not quite mastered so bear with me over my bumbling.

I've been reading the TLP for a while now, and the best summary for it would be an analysis of a semantic-two dimensional plane. Hence the title.

I've grown reading the Investigations as an anlysis done in three dimensions now.

But, I don't have much more to say on the topic other than what are your thoughts about two-dimensional semantics?

Here's the SEP entry on it:

Isn't 2D semantics focused on possible worlds? Why would "the best summary for TLP" involve possible world analysis?

Sorry, must have made a mistake in that regards.

Carry on.
