Talk:Two dimensionalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't like saying that two accounts of a philosophical problem contribute to the complete explanation. That seems too broad. Instead, maybe say two ways in which content may be determined?

I agree with the "two ways of content determination" emmendation. I was struck by the awkwardness of the entry when first reading it. Also, a more substantive issue: there is a great deal of disagreement about how to understand the two dimensions of content. Saying that one dimension treats terms as literally equivalent to a description begs the question against some prominent 2Ders like Chalmers. We need a more formal description of the general framework shared by all 2Dists and some acknowledgement of the differences in their interpretations of the framework.

This is a pretty sloppy article overall. I think that this article should follow the broad outline of David Chalmers paper "the foundations of two-dimensional semantics", this is the broadest and most inclusive treatment of two-dimensionalism in the literature, as well as the most precise. 71.229.63.50 04:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
