| Description | Within the intensional logic a proposition was defined as a function from possible worlds to truth-values and a possible world is defined as a certain collection of state-of-affairs, (possible) facts and fact as true proposition. However, propositions are not structured, they do not consist of in certain individual instantiating certain property what is a fact in the pre-theoretical sense. Tichý's concept of propositional construction is such a structured item (language was conceived by him as procedural). I argue for the necessity to adopt constructions as explicata for the notion of state-of-affair (fact). |
