Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to game-theoretic semantics (GTS), and to chart some of its current directions, with a focus on epistemological issues. GTS was originally developed by Jaakko Hintikka in the 1960s and became one of the main approaches in logical and linguistic semantics. The theory has been researched in numerous publications. I will put games in a wider historical and systematic perspective within the overall development of logic, and explore some of the recent advances.
