Around the Tree

Semantic and Metaphysical Issues Concerning Branching and the Open Future

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

Over the past few years, the tree model of time has been widely employed to deal with issues concerning the semantics of tensed discourse.

The contributions is gathers concern the model and its alternatives, both from a semantic and from a metaphysical point of view. weiterlesen
