- Title
Partial content and expressions of part and whole.
- Authors
Moltmann, Friederike
- Abstract
This discussion of Yablo's book Aboutness focuses on the way partial content and partial truth are reflected in natural language. It argues that natural language reflects a content-based notion of part structure for a much greater range of entities than Yablo acknowledges. Moreover, it argues that some of those entities involve a notion of partial satisfaction rather than partial truth as well as, to an extent, a notion of partial existence or validity.
