Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudierSammanfattning : The present paper sets out to investigate whether the contrast between Description theories of reference and Direct Reference theories constitutes what Chalmers calls “a broad verbal dispute” on the concept of reference.

Nihilism, scepticism of meaning or of concept, constitutive scepticism are other commentators´ different names of the same phenomenon. LÄS MER
10. A priorisk kunskap - en analys av definitioner
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Teoretisk filosofiSammanfattning : I den här uppsatsen tänker jag reda ut det epistemologiska begreppet a priori.
