Resumo: In this paper we will present a Tarski-like Semantics for first-orderlanguages by resorting to a theory of quasi-sets as meta-language. The objectiveis to allow that undistinguishable, though not identical, objects – in the sensedealt with by this theory –, appear in the domain of interpretation and may be values of variables in the Quinean sense. Thus, besides changing theinterpretation of symbols as the identity and the non-logical constants oflanguage, this Semantics will allow us to discuss – in a strict manner – thepossibility of relativizing the famous criterion of Quine’s OntologicalCompromise, according to which, without getting into minute details, a theoryexpressed in first-order language is compromised with the entities that oughtto be in the domain of interpretation so that the formula in question is trueand that such entities must ‘have identity’. As we shall see, by changing thismeta-language theory, we will change the kinds of objects that can belong tothe domain of interpretation.

O objetivo é permitir que objetos indistinguíveis mas não idênticos, no sentido tratado por esta teoria, figurem no domínio de interpretação e possam ser valores de variáveis no sentido quiniano. Desse modo, além de alterar a interpretação de símbolos como a identidade e as constantes não lógicas da linguagem, esta semântica nos permite discutir de modo rigoroso a possibilidade de relativizarmos o famoso critério de compromisso ontológico de Quine, segundo o qual, grosso modo, uma teoria expressa em linguagem de primeira ordem está comprometida com as entidades que devem estar no domínio de interpretação para que a fórmula em questão seja verdadeira, e que essas entidades devem ser "dotadas de identidade". Como veremos, mudando a teoria da metalinguagem, mudamos os tipos de objetos que podem pertencer ao domínio de interpretação.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-01-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/cognitiofilosofia/article/view/12868Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2009); 191-207Cognitio: Revista de Filosofia; v. 10 n. 2 (2009); 191-2072316-52781518-7187reponame:Cognitio (São Paulo.
