M.J. Cresswell on Attribution - Dictionary of Arguments
I 129 Attribution/Variables/Constants/Possible Worlds/Stalnaker/Cresswell: Stalnaker uses a value attribution which is world-dependent. I.e. a term t can be attributed to an individual in a world and a different individual in another possible world. Variables/Stalnaker: refer to the same thing in all possible worlds. Variables/constants/Hintikka: also Hintikka treats variables and constants differently: because of his restriction of quantifiers we can talk about the same thing in different possible worlds. >Cross world identity. (Camps: LewisVsHintikka). - - - II 159 Propositional attitudes/attribution/that-Sentence/truth Conditions/content/Cresswell: thesis: the truth conditions of sentences with propositional attitudes are determined by the content of the that-clauses - that all it is about for me. >That-clause, >That/Cresswell, >Propositional attitudes, >Propositions, >Truth conditions. II 160 More than merely the truth conditions of the complementary sentences are involved in the attribution of propositional attitudes._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
