DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract:</p>\n<p>I aim to show how a commonly accepted metaphilosophical assumption has important consequences for a hotly debated issue in the philosophy of language. The seemingly innocuous metaphilosophical claim is this:</p>\n<p>The Principle of Philosophical Thought Experiments</p>\n<p>Philosophical theories must be compatible (ceteris paribus) with the intuitions elicited by philosophical thought experiments.</p>\n<p>The controversial semantic claim it supports is this:</p>\n<p>Strict Semantics</p>\n<p>Every disambiguated sentence has a determinate semantic content\, relative to an assignment of contents to its indexical expressions\, and not necessarily identical to what may be conveyed (pragmatically) by its utterance.</p>\n<p>After considering each of these claims individually\, I shall suggest how the first provides evidence for the second.&nbsp\;</p>
