• @article{Plumer1996-PLUTAC,volume = {50},abstract = {The paper argues for the applicability of the notion of collective truth as opposed to distributive truth, that is, truth at times or possibilia taken in groups rather than individually. The underlying reasoning is that there are transtemporal and transworld relationships, e.g., those involving the relations of $<$being a descendant of$>$ and $<$thinking about$>$. Relationships are (one type of) truth-makers. Hence, there are transtemporal and transworld truth-makers. Therefore, there is transtemporal and transworld truth, i.e., collective truth. A semantics is developed (formalized in the appendix) which embodies the notion of collective truth, and which thereby, it is argued, has various advantages over standard intensional semantics. For example, it avoids a commitment to certain impossible entities.},number = {1},title = {Truth and Collective Truth},author = {Gilbert Plumer},year = {1996},pages = {3--24},journal = {Dialectica}}@
