 Hyperintensionality - Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments
 
Hyperintensionality: Intensionality is a semantic property of language that allows us to distinguish between sentences that have the same truth value but different meanings. For example, the sentences "The morning star is the evening star" and "The morning star is the morning star" are both true, but they have different meanings. - Hyperintensionality is a problem of distinguishing between Possible Worlds, which leads to incalculable subtleties. Especially if worlds are supposed to differ only by different opinions. See also Possible worlds, Intensions, Intensionality, Cross world identity.
