How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2597260 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic
Context triple: [Saul Kripke, notableWork, Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic]

A. The Logical Structure of the World
The Logical Structure of the World is Rudolf Carnap’s seminal 1928 work in which he develops a rigorous, formal reconstruction of all scientific concepts from a phenomenalist basis, serving as a foundational text of logical positivism.
B. Fregean semantics
Fregean semantics is a theory of meaning in philosophy of language that distinguishes between the sense (Sinn) and reference (Bedeutung) of linguistic expressions to explain how terms can be cognitively significant even when they refer to the same object.
C. The Logical Syntax of Language
The Logical Syntax of Language is Rudolf Carnap’s seminal 1934 work that systematically develops a formal, logical framework for analyzing the structure and rules of scientific languages, helping to found logical empiricism and modern philosophy of language.
D. Introduction to Logical Theory
Introduction to Logical Theory is a mid-20th-century philosophical work by P. F. Strawson that critically examines traditional formal logic and its relation to ordinary language.
E. Kripke fixed-point theory of truth
The Kripke fixed-point theory of truth is a semantic framework developed by Saul Kripke that uses partial truth predicates and fixed points to consistently handle self-referential sentences and semantic paradoxes like the liar paradox.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
