Propositions: Brute facts or Structured Entities?

Tuesday 12 November 2019
19:30 to 21:00

Paul Healy will lead a discussion at 19:30 on the identity of propositions.

The term proposition is used to refer to some or all of the following: the primary bearers of truth-value, the objects of belief and other "propositional attitudes" (i.e., what is believed, doubted, etc.), the referents of that-clauses, and the meanings of declarative sentences.  So they are of fundamental importance to analytic philosophy.  See Stanford Dictionary here.  But do they have more fundamental elements which are evident from their structure?
