Description
  • The current revival of the notion of structured meaning has made the problem of propositional unity pressing. The problem, stated in its simplest form, is how an individual a and a property F combine into the proposition P that a is an F. In general terms, how do two different kinds of objects combine into a third kind of object capable of having properties that neither of its constituents could have? Standard constraints imposed on P include that P must be capable of being true/false, being known/believed to be true/false, occurring as argument of propositional connectives (such as entailment), and figuring as the meaning of a sentence. This essay sketches how a theory of procedural semantics may offer a solution to the problem of the unity of the proposition. Procedural semantics contrasts with denotational semantics. Procedural semantics identifies meaning with the very procedure for producing a product, while denotational semantics identifies meaning with the product. The solution, in outline, is that the very procedure of functional application serves as propositional unifier.
