SUMMARY:Mysterious Quantifiers
DESCRIPTION:Lavinia Picollo (National University of Singapore)A well-known 
 problem\, due to Carnap\, concerns how the meanings of logical connectives
  can possibly arise from the rules governing their use. Much less discusse
 d is an analogous problem for quantifiers. This paper argues that the prob
 lem for quantifiers is serious\, resists the usual solutions\, and (on pla
 usible semantic and metasemantic assumptions) forces us into a radically r
 evisionary view of quantifiers and the truth-conditions of quantified sent
 ences. I go on to explore some logical properties of quantifiers with thes
 e &lsquo\;sentential' truth-conditions\, and the philosophical implication
 s this new perspective on quantification comes with.
