Abstract

There are mainly two traditional conceptions of propositions in analytic philosophy: the theory of structured propositions, first elaborated by Russell, and more recently revived by Soames and Salmon, on the one hand, and the theory of propositions as sets of possible worlds, on the other hand. In these two conceptions, propositions are conceived as mind-independent entities that are the primary bearers of truth, the meanings of sentences and the objects of propositional attitudes. Their mind-independence is fundamental since it guarantees that they are intersubjectively sharable. Each of these views faces well-known problems that call for a new theory of propositions. Recently, several âact-based viewsâ of propositions have been proposed that are purportedly immune to these problems. In this paper, I will first mention some of the problems faced by the act-based view developed by Moltmann and inspired by the work of Twardowski. Then, I will suggest a new act-based view of propositions that relies on Ingardenâs theory of meaning.
