Epistemic and Deontic Should
Thought: A Journal of Philosophy 2 (1):73-84 (2013)
Abstract
Probabilistic theories of “should” and “ought” face a predicament. At first blush, it seems that such theories must provide different lexical entries for the epistemic and the deontic interpretations of these modals. I show that there is a new style of premise semantics that can avoid this consequence in an attractively conservative way.Author's Profile
