The probabilities of truth for conditionals will then depend on the joint probabilities of the facts and counterfacts, the latter in turn depending on the mode of supposition. The implication of this treatment is that the probabilities of conditionals...

Lying is seen as a special case requiring assertion of disbelieved information, where assertion is characterized as a mode of contributing information to a discourse that is sensitive...

LoLordo's account of Lockean modes is, of course, one part of a larger package; the attractions of the entire package depend on whether it does better than its competitors at accommodating texts and solving puzzles. LoLordo effectively parades the attractions of her reading. If you accept her account...

(Descartes's preferred term for a property is ‘mode’, as opposed to the scholastic term ‘accident’. 15 I will generally use ‘mode’ as well.)

Because (according to the doctrine in Frege 1997c [1918] ) only Bekele is in position to grasp the first-person mode of presentation that this thought is constructed from. We are therefore not in position to ascribe...

Commentators have often thought that 1p5 itself is not well argued for. 1p5
is supposed to follow from 1p4, which says distinct substances can only be dis-
tinguished by a difference in their attributes or their modes (those being the
only qualitative features they possess). Because Spinoza believes...

does so because a sense presents a reference, by incorporating a mode
of presentation. This is how Frege invariably speaks of the matter when-
ever he is discussing the senses expressed by proper names, the most

..., and so forth. Yet when Spinoza states his reasons
for rejecting this picture, he says something rather surprising. He cites
1p16, which says that God produces the modes from the necessity of his
nature, and 1p32c1 and c2 which say that God does not produce the
modes freely. How does a denial...

The different layers permit different perspectives on the world of objects,
and ordinary discourse about objects employs different modes of predi-

In any event, without this special mode of presentation we arguably do not have a normative concept at issue...
