Presupposition, assertion, and definite descriptions by Elbourne, P

“…In recent work on the semantics of definite descriptions, some theorists (Elbourne in Definite descriptions, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013; Schoubye in Noûs 47(3):496–533, 2013) have advocated broadly Fregean accounts, whereby a definite description ‘the F’ introduces a presupposition to the effect that there is exactly one F and refers to it if there is, while other theorists (Abbott, in: Gundel, Hedberg (eds) Reference: Interdisciplinary perspectives, Oxford University Press, Oxford, pp. 61–72, 2008; Hawthorne and Manley in The reference book, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2012) have advocated accounts whereby ‘the F’ introduces a presupposition to the effect that there is exactly one F but otherwise has the semantics of ‘an F’, introducing existential quantification. …”

Assertion and Epistemic Opacity by Hawthorne, J, Magidor, O

Eucharistic priority in Hilary of Poitiers' trinitarian theology: a critique of contemporary approaches to divine–human communio by Mercer, J

“… <p style="text-align:justify;"> The notion of koinonia or communio is at the heart of contemporary ecclesiology, and trinitarian theology has become its necessary presupposition.

World Athletics regulations unfairly affect female athletes with differences in sex development by Bowman-Smart, H, Savulescu, J, O’Connell, M, Sinclair, A

Oh (/o/) als ontvanger van informatie in sociale interactie by Seuren, L

“…Focusing on its use in response to informing turns, I argue that as a free-standing particle speakers use it to claim that the information in that prior turn was in some way unexpected: either because it contradicted what the speaker claimed he or she knew, or because it contradicted some presupposition that was encoded in an earlier question. …”

Conceptualizing urban shrinkage by Haase, A, Rink, D, Mykhnenko, V, al., E

The Bible and analytic reflection by Sarisky, D

“…Analytic skill can contribute to a theology of the Bible and a theological hermeneutic in two ways, by refining the formulation of a doctrine of Scripture and a correlative hermeneutic, and by illuminating how problematic hermeneutical presuppositions have in some cases become part of exegetical practice. …”

Complementarity and scientific rationality by Saunders, S

“…But Bohr's interpretation changed little from the time of its first appearance, and stood independent of any philosophical presuppositions. The principle of complementarity is itself best read as a conjecture of unusually wide scope, on the nature and future course of explanations in the sciences (and not only the physical sciences). …”
