Michael Devitt on Experimental Semantics

What does the name ‘Kurt Gödel’ refer to? Most people think it refers to the person who came up with the incompleteness theorem. But does it matter what most people think? Are our intuitions consistent, or even relevant here? Michael Devitt in conversation with Nigel Warburton explores this question of the role of intuitions in assessing reference.

This episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast was made at the University of York.
