This essay argues that the orthodoxy is wrong. I, you , and the like are shifted by certain modal operators and hence can fail to refer...

... to be knowledge about oneself or indexical knowledge. So in order to envisage the gods' epistemic situation coherently, we need to assume that they lack those introspective abilities. But once we recognize that, it turns out that positing a special kind of information is a gratuitous addition. The two gods...

...Kai von Fintel; Anthony S. Gillies Epistemic modals are standardly taken to be context-dependent quantifiers over possibilities. Thus sentences containing them get truth-values with respect to both a context and an index. But some insist that this relativization is not relative enough: `might...

It is demonstratives—that is, expressions like ‘that darn cat’ or the pronoun ‘he’ used deictically (in contrast to its use either as a bound variable or as a “pronoun of laziness A few philosophers deserve particular credit for advancing our understanding of demonstratives and other indexical (that is, context...

... that it is the visual system that is pointing). A FINST index is a posited item that, according to Pylyshyn's (1989 , 2001 , 2003 ) theory, is used in visual systems in initially “individuating” (or “picking out”) objects in a scene. According to the theory, the FINST index functions a little like a demonstrative...

... the term or sentence is embedded. According to Kaplan (1989) , for example, the features of context that determine the interpretations of indexicals such as the first-person pronoun are unshiftable; no matter what linguistic material in which it is embedded, ‘I’ denotes the speaker in the context...

... begins in familiar territory. Here is the basic setup. Sentences get truth values at an index—for us there will be no more to an index than a world—with respect to a context. A context determines the set of possibilities compatible with the relevant information in that context. These contexts will do...

The extension of a name is insensitive to parameters of the index, so shifting parameters of the index will never result in shifting...
