"It's About Time"

Abstract: Goodman's grue paradox is revisited with tools from Carnap (the total evidence requirement) and aboutness theory.  The role proposed for subject matter threatens to make confirmation relations *hyperintensional*.   How scandalized should we be by this?  Or is it something to be welcomed?  

Stephen Yablo is the David W. Skinner Professor of Philosophy at MIT.
