    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A rationalist can accommodate Kripke's examples by moving to a 2D semantic framework.

    If primary intensions are defined contextually rather than cognitively, the 'golden triangle' connection to apriority requires an independent theory of cognition that 2D semantics does not supply.

    Key Terms

    2D semantics(philosophy of language)
    A theory of meaning that uses two different dimensions or levels to explain what words mean: one for how we think about them, and one for what they actually refer to.
    A priori (apriority)(epistemology (theory of knowledge))
    Knowledge we can know just by thinking and reasoning, without needing to experience it in the real world—like knowing that 2+2=4.
    Cognitively(in describing how co-referential expressions can differ in meaning)
    Relating to how we think, understand, or know something—so a 'cognitive difference' means two things involve different thoughts or ways of understanding, even if they're about the same object.
    Primary intensions(philosophy of language and semantics)
    The core meaning of a word based on how we actually think about it in the real world, rather than just what the word refers to.

    Theory of cognition(philosophy of mind)
    A systematic explanation of how the human mind works—how we think, understand, remember, and process information.
    contextually(as used in philosophy of language)
    Depending on the surrounding situation or context; the meaning or use changes based on what's happening around it.
    golden triangle(rationalist project in philosophy of language)
    The constitutive links between meaning, apriority, and possibility that the rationalist project seeks to vindicate.
