TL;DR: There has been a movement recently to bring to bear on the conduct of philosophical thought experiments (henceforth "thought experiments") the empirical techniques of the social sciences, that is, to treat their conduct as in the nature of an anthropological investigation into the application conditions of the concepts of a group of subjects.
Abstract: There has been a movement recently to bring to bear on the conduct of philosophical thought experiments (henceforth “thought experiments”) the empirical techniques of the social sciences, that is, to treat their conduct as in the nature of an anthropological investigation into the application conditions of the concepts of a group of subjects. This is to take a third person, in contrast to the traditional first person, approach to conceptual analysis.This has taken the form of conducting surveys about scenarios used in thought experiments. It has been called “experimental philosophy” by its practitioners and has been applied across a range of fields: the philosophy of language, the philosophy of action, the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics. The results of these surveys have been used to support conclusions about the application conditions of particular concepts of interest in philosophy. They have also been used to support (and been motivated by) skeptical claims about the traditional approach to conceptual analysis. The

TL;DR: This work advances a novel account of the semantic form of complex demonstratives that shows how to reconcile the view that they function like quantified noun phrases with theView that simple demonstratives function as context sensitive referring terms wherever they occur.
Abstract: Complex demonstratives, expressions of the form “That F”, “These Fs”, etc., have traditionally been taken to be referring terms. Yet they exhibit many of the features of quantified noun phrases. This has led some philosophers to suggest that demonstrative determiners are a special kind of quantifier, which can be paraphrased using a context sensitive definite description. Both these views contain elements of the truth, though each is mistaken. We advance a novel account of the semantic form of complex demonstratives that shows how to reconcile the view that they function like quantified noun phrases with the view that simple demonstratives function as context sensitive referring terms wherever they occur. If we are right, previous accounts of complex demonstratives have misconceived their semantic role; and philosophers relying on the majority view in employing complex demonstratives in analysis have proceeded on a false assumption.

TL;DR: In this article, the extension of the truth theory to quantifiers has been discussed and the semantics of the simple tenses of state and event verbs have been discussed. But this is restricted to indirect discourse and attitude sentences and not to non-declarative sentences.

TL;DR: The notion of a shared intention is made for the notion of shared cooperative activity which Bratman discusses in (Bratman, 1992), see as discussed by the authors for discussion of the difference between shared cooperative activities and collective intentional behavior more generally.
Abstract: sense, it requires the members of the group to intend that they perform the joint action by way of meshing subplans (see section IV below). This does not represent a disagreement between us, for Bratman does not state his aim in the same way I have stated mine. His is introduced by way of an example of the sort of ‘shared intention’ he aims to provide an analysis of. Mine is introduced by way of a certain semantic reading of a plural action sentence. The notion of a shared intention is made for the notion of shared cooperative activity which Bratman discusses in (Bratman, 1992). See the last paragraph of section V for discussion of the difference between shared cooperative activity and collective intentional behavior more generally. Even
