Truth and Context Change

Andreas Stokke
2012 Journal of Philosophical Logic  
Some dynamic semantic theories include an attempt to derive truth-conditional meaning from context change potentials. This implies defining truth in terms of context change. Focusing on presuppositions and epistemic modals, this paper points out some problems with how this project has been carried out. It then suggests a way of overcoming these problems. This involves appealing to a richer notion of context than the one found in standard dynamic systems.
