    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The proponent of possible worlds semantics must take sentences (13) and (14) to have the same content
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If (13) and (14) have the same content, then (15) and (16) differ only by substitution of expressions with the same content
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If two sentences differ only by substitution of co-content expressions, possible worlds semantics requires them to express the same proposition and have the same truth-value
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
