The Jowett Society (Friday - Week 3, TT23)

Philosophical Society

I argue that the semantic values of some indexical expressions---such as `I', `here', and `now'---are perfectly natural. The main argument appeals to facts about reference in worlds featuring many duplicate copies of agents. Versions of this argument also appeal to principles of contemporary cosmology, and to the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics.
