One
of the questions that can be posed is whether a photograph could
lie...or for that matter tell the truth?
This
question is an attempt to get you to think about semantics.
Semantic issues arise if we think that symbols refer to something
other than themselves. So, if we have ideas in our minds, than
do these ideas have a semantics...i.e, do they refer to something?
Are all our ideas true? Do all or just some of our ideas refer
to something? Does the question of how our ideas get into
our minds bear on these questions.
