Re: SUO: Re: Extension x Comprehension
Actually, some of us think that Goedel was the best logician after
Aristotle/Plato, ok, maybe Leibniz, and that Russell was the best
philosopher of language after ..., ok, maybe Leibniz and maybe Frege.
Maybe some of us would put Tarski somewhere in there, if only as a
bridge into new worlds. And those in natural language would possibly put
Montague in there, for letting us linguistic semanticists know there was
something better than your or my "semantic features", called model
theory.
