First Order Theories of Individual Concepts and Propositions. McCarthy, J. Machine Intelligence, 1979. Reprinted in i̧teZZZ-Lifschitz:1990
Paper abstract bibtex We discuss first order theories in which \emphindividual concepts are admitted as mathematical objects along with the things that \emphreify them. This allows very straightforward formalizations of knowledge, belief, wanting, and necessity in ordinary first order logic without modal operators. Applications are given in philosophy and in artificial intelligence. We do not treat general concepts, and we do not present any full axiomatizations but rather show how various facts can be expressed.
