Abstract

The Reduction of the Possible to the Real. Modern philosophy cannot avoid dealing with possible worlds — neither in the field of intensional logic nor in other fields not directly connected with logical investigations. This paper attempts to develop a method to substitute possible worlds by the real world, referring to the works of Stig Kanger and Nino B. Cocchiarella. This is done by investigating the metaphorical and dynamical functions of natural languages. It is proved that this new technique is adequate for use in the semantics of intensional languages. As an example a language is constructed, which is based on the aristotelian view of universal concepts.
